Thank u. d way they've been promoting d useless debate I knew there was something sinister about it. GEJ who boycotted d 2011 session is now a born-again advocate of d debate. d only time we saw d clueless one last time was in an interview wit dbanj. What a slowpoke

Let us not deceive our self. Buhari knows nothing. He even implicated himself in one of the campaigns, by promising to stabilised the price of oil once he became the president. He is like a old train that has been park too long. He should go and rest and take care of his health. The cabal are not doing him any good.

BetaThings:

there is no option in the election
The INEC process is constitutional with some safeguards eg experience, background and senate confirmation
Nothing stops all the interviewers from being Jonathan godsons and inlaws
Show me what you wrote in 2011 when Jonathan ran away from a debate on NN24
Now he wants one on NTA+FRCN+AIT

Let us bring Isha Seesay and strike fear in his heart!

U've spoken my mind.

where was jonathan at this time in 2011?

It really shows an honest man who is principled.

A smart man cannot swim with those who want him drowned. Buhari and APC have the momentum right now, so why mess it up.

Rotimi Amaechi is probably the smartest political strategist in Nigerian history. I'm sure Buhari could have jumped into this debate if Rotimi and Fayemi are not there with him.

Smart Move by the Buhari Team

Moderator: GMB, do you think you have the moral justification to contest for the president of this nation after puting an end to a civilian government by coup in 1983?
GMB: *coughs*..., next kwepshion

Moderator: It appears you are becoming senile lately, forgeting lots of things including your vice's name.
GMB: Bekwus I called Osinbanjo Osinbande, you are all shaoting.

Moderator: Why did yo present an altered result to Nigerians when we all thought you are incorruptible?
GMB: Only Allah is inkwuruptable, walai

Moderator: GMB, where is your certificate?
GMB: Go and kwulekt it from Shekau.

Moderator: Will you start fighting corruption from APC chieftains?
GMB: I am going for prayer now.

alaoeri:
Good move by APC the debate should be organise by neutral body & not proGEJ apologist.

lets say na PDP say no go go for this debate, what will APC people be saying?...

Why is other parties not running away from this debate?

Why was APCs asking for debate when people are asking for GMB‘s certificate?

What are APCs really afraid of?


This is how GMB refused to answer when he was invited by Oputa panel. GMB hates confronting the people. He is so used to command and obey (obey before complain) that he find it difficult to answer to common civilians.
I still wonder how he will work with National Assembly if he mistakenly wins (GOD FORBID).

APC should have a rethink on many areas of life.

tolexy007:
i swear if buhari no come for d debate, make he forget my vote.
dat means he is clueless dan d clueless

Elections getting interesting by the day, I must confess I'm having n catching fun from the various news that's been trending about campaign for a while now, different bombs and RPGs being thrown from one political camp to the other..at least I can say that people are getting more inclined and exposed politically by the hour.

However, big events to me like the upcoming debate shouldn't be handled with hands of levity by way of trying to shy away from the debate by giving us unreasonable reasons why a candidate can't participate, for crying out loud, this is an open debate that Nigerians are longing to watch live from the corners of our rooms, we want to hear from the horses' mouths.

Regardless of whoever organised the debate or however it is being organised, GMB should come out and participate in the debate, I want to believe the judges would be fair and unbiased.

Mai vote still goes to GMB though,bur we need you to add some swag to your strategies and addresses..we just can't afford another 4yrs of dulling..

Bring your certificate, he refused, come for debate, he is telling stories.
This man has no regard for Nigerians.

How on earth do anybody think that a sick old man like buhari could stand and talk for ten mins,hav u seen him like that before?even during the campaign buhari has never spoken for more than 5mins ,shaaaaaaaaame on tinubu and his biz partners ( APC )am not surprised at all,the man will collapse withing 10mins ,this people are too smart,wow,

lyntiffany:
Two wrongs can't make a right the more reason to tell good luck that his more clueful than he is.

Unfortunately people don't take rational decisions
The journalists can afford to take him apart on issues that many cannot reason about
Jonathan said Buhari did not buy a rifle in 1984-85 and people applauded forgetting that in 1992 - 95 or so we spearheaded Ecomog war in Liberia and Sierra Leone

Let me give you an example

A Buhari critic wrote this
"I watched in horror when he said he would ask our able-bodied men to embrace Agriculture. So primitive"
Yet he was not horrified when Jonathan said virtually the same thing in Kebbi and Sokoto and went on to call himself the President's farmer in Benue
Was he not talking to able bodied men or can superannuated people be expected to drive a sector that is the largest contributor to GDP?

Whoever came up with the cancellation idea is a genius. As much as we can't really determine the reasons behind it, it really makes sense for Buhari, APC and supporters to avoid such a colossal disaster.

I have a simple solution to the problem. It will suit all parties. To avoid expo, let the organizers send each candidate a copy of the debate. They all will have to work with their parties to come up with a great debate. There will be no excuses and accusations. That way, it will come down to which candidate is more articulate and understands the economics of the day.

If that doesn't work, nothing will. My opinion.

Buhari believes nothing would make his supporters not to vote for him but it seems
he has forgotten there are still many undecided voters.

This is a very simple matter, a very smart presidential candidate will be ready to Debate at any time on any platform.

More so, when his closest challenger is "the clueless one"

SOLA OMOLE has leaked questions to be asked to GEJ. what is his take on the defamatory documentary about GMB. Raymond Dokpesi has been doing GEJ bidding no matter what it will cost him. VON+FRCN+NTA+AIT=PDP, but Channels+Saharareporter+Christiane Amanpour= Neutral Body.

Although while the Presidential debate would have been the best window for BUHARI to express and shed more lights on his programmes and the party manifesto. It is perceived that the debate is the handwork of the ruling party to embarass GMB. Debate or no debate what Nigeria need is a good government devoid of any characters that can fuel crisis in the country.....Electorate knows that it is time to think deep and twice as well....We do not need transformation but all we need are,power, employment,food,shelter and all good things of life. God bless Nigeria.

chai....lol

Am so dissapointed,I was really waiting for both of them to come and lie to our faces on national TV,so we can now tell them what we will do with our votes.....vote for a neutral but manageable candidate as early as possible and watch football the whole day with our loved ones,happy Valentines day folks in advance!

BekeeBuAgbara:
Did Buhari request for neutral ground? The answer is no.

Buhari shunned Oputa panel, the only former head of state that doesn't attend council of state meetings, bring your certificate, he refused, come for debate, he is telling stories.

This man has no regard for Nigerians.

Put yourself in his positions

You are been ridiculed and paint to be bad,by your oppositions organisations

And you expect him to be there
Let be truthful for once

It like you dinning with your foes

sanmibukunmi:

no mind those people that will come here and post rubbish..... ithink the only part ronmey tried was in the security section. but in economy and the rest, obama washed him....Some people on Nairaland no sabi anything and them go dey discuss politics

yah... You know as a republican thet understand business.

Ok

silvernus0:




That first pix was in yaradua's election debate stop deceiving pple, jonathan was his vice then.

Guy are you from the moon? Did Ribadu contest against Yar'Adua or Jonathan?

kayultimate:
my prayer to All GEJ followers: may God run and manage your life the way Jonathan managed Nigeria in the part six year. can I hear a LOUD AMEN!

AMEN!!!

I'm a "GEJ follower" since that's what you call people with common sense.

BetaThings:


So the debate of 2011 that Jonathan ran away from was not about Nigeria?
So pls compare likes. You may not attend classes and can still write the exam (election) and pass
and in school everyone can pass unlike election where there is only one winner
Was that not the reason Man U always retained Webb?
In 2011 Jonathan did not show up for debate but contested election

Here apc clearly stated why buhari wouldn't partake in the debate just because he was not given expo. So the former debate he attended were not conducted by nta and ait.

Zaha:
channel is also an apc tv station

is simple as abc,no need to fight over this issue,if u want to see buhari debate,watch it on channel,tvc,or all apc state channels,let gej also debate on nta,ait and all pdp state channel,

kendrick9:
the only thing this action by buhari shows is that he can't even construct an argument as to why he should be president.. it shows that he is indeed a dullard...
how can this cattle rearer be the president of nigeria then?

na wa you o

shegsky:

2011 Mr PhD holder, come for debate
No I want to chill with my friend D banj

2015, he wants debate
Jonathan does not do anything that is not arranged
He ensured that nobody contested his PDP presidential primary this time
That is first in the history of PDP
Presidential election was fixed since a year ago and is to come first. now he wants it postponed
He has been fighting tooth and nail to get Buhari disqualified
was it not the same Jonathan that had a media chat and not a single caller got through? which network did they use?
When ordinary Nigerians were calling themselves and talking about it
This debate is rigged otherwise Jonathan would be talking to 2face on that day

BetaThings:

And the impromptu interview was a fisaco, was it not?
On a neutral ground, any well disciplined person can take Jonathan apart

His open love for corrupt people alone is enough

If we can be true to ourselves,in both PDP and APC ,which of them does not have a good number of corrupt individuals?Your guess is as good as mine.

Illiiteracy @ its peak!!..buhari go back to school.

Excellent idea. PDP is trying to use the debate as a last ditch effort to save its sinking ship! Mba!!

There is no need to help the clueless one: Sebi he debated himself on national TV in 2011. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Jonathan 'mr How much did nwobodo stole' with fearful shaking lips can not and never stand Buhari. Good move by APC to have opted out, everything ' federal' in Nigeria now under Jonathan is controlled like a baby toy. Look at the way Military, dss, police are passionately and shamelessly defending PDP in public glare.
2011 we witnessed the prepared questions/debate and presidential briefing ....
