The presidential candidate of the PDP Atiku Abubakar returned from the US ahead of the presidential debate but at the twelfth hour makes a u-turn below are excerpt from his release:
"We came here for a Presidential debate, not a candidacy debate, and I, Atiku Abubakar can not challenge or question an administration where the man at the helm of the affairs of the nation is not present to defend himself or his policies. After all you cannot shave a man's head in his absence. I do not believe in attacking a man who is NOT here to defend himself. As a leader and former vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, let me first apologise to all Nigerians, my fellow candidates and the moderator for the the APC Presidential Candidates absence in this debate. His non-appearance is a slight on ALL of us and our democracy.
I however challenge President Buhari to choose a date and time for a debate where he will be present and I will be there, hopefully with the other candidates as well.
Thank you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Atiku Abubakar
However candidates from three other parties Kingsley Moghalu, Fela Durotoye and Oby Ezekwesili where visibly Present at the debate to let Nigerians know their plans for the nation.
What do you think about the two major candidate not participating in the debate?
I am just wondering...
