This would be a bad move on Buhari's part. Although the debate organizers are members of govt parastatals, the debate panel comprises seasoned journalists who have built stellar reputations over a period of time.
Buhari should have used the opportunity provided by the debate to, once and for all, clear all misconceptions about him and expatiate on his manifesto.

Hmm. So Sahara Reporters is an APC media wing?

jars9:
How on earth would you say someone should take an uneducated 72 years old man that has been out of government for over 30 years to be his president?


Well, if you may care to know, Buhari won't rule with decrees and this time around it will be laws as entrenched in the constitution. So the era of waking up and enacting a decree is over. Looking at the people bankrolling his campaign and the party, they are a collection of aggrieved congregational congress according to Soludo. These guys are angry because, they have not being able to lay their hands on our common wealth.

Come to think of it Nigerians ,can Buhari cope with the complexities of modern leadership? We are in a situation in Nigeria where the President outsourced his responsibilities because he isn't capable and we are clamouring for someone that is even super clueless. Yes, he has no integrity........Well, time will tell. Fighting corruption in Nigeria is like fighting unemployment benefit and immigration issues in the UK.

Dont believe all those propaganda they all want in on the action , them wan chop too at our detriment, for those who care to know it takes faith, understanding plus patience in the system to experience growth and to experience the growth we must avoid the path of confrontation, a bitter ,2019 would be the best time for us to evaluate ourselves and make a peaceful hitch free change ,you can't take power from the ss without confrontation because the north would be getting it through violence as Nigerians we need to let them know that violence is not the way to get power because if it's that way don't expect a stable government from pa Buhari this is democracy we either choose to move forward or remain stagnant. The world is watching us and our stupidity.

The Chairman, Board of trustees of NEDG is also the Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority, Mr. Sola Omole

You only need to watch a little bit of NTA recently to know their level of bias and partisanism


APC are not attending your useless debate if it can't be organised by a neutral body.

On February 8, GEJ will have a debate opponent

Obiagelli:

I also think the excuse though genuine is too cheap. Buhari should be ready for anything thrown at him. This is supposed to be the high point of the debate.

This man took part in the last debate in which other aspirants except GEJ participated.

AIT and NTA has not been neutral so it is common sense for him to ignore media houses used to ridicule him.

Did we all shout illiterate when GEJ absconded in 2011?

Let a neutral body organize this debate then we can now judge objectively. In this case, Buhari has a point.

slap1:
Lol
This man should just do us all a favour and step down. If you can't debate with the so-called 'clueless' GEJ, how do you intend to tackle the intellectually-tasking and complex demands of running a democratic country?

If he suspects any form of connivance, he should suggest that a more trusted body handle the debates. APC and co have been asking the PDP to forget the certificate issue and face real matters. Now the time to face real matters is upon us and they're looking for an escape route.

verygudbadguy:


While i prefer to be neutral btw PDP n APC, i'd like to point out to you that this is not the first time boycott is happening during the presidential debate.
As a matter of fact, President Goodluck Jonathan started it. Another point is, NTA has a reputation of being biaz and PDP friendly.

Let him come and tell us what he has to offer, this particular election is too critical for any aspirant to avoid any form of debate.

spott:
I support the reasons for shunning this biased debate. NTA and AIT both strong members of the NERD are strongly allied to the incumbent GEJ which will end come FeBuhari14 with or without a debate.

God bless you

How would anyone expects Buhari to attend a debate organised by an evil triumvate which include AIT which recently aired a propaganda filled with hate and ill motive even to the point of taunting him with the death of his wife and daughter

Very sensible thing to do. No need to apply brake to a moving train.
Let GEJ go and debate Dbanj, or he has Chekwas Okorie to debate. Our president in waiting has no time for fraudulent debate.

Olodo! There's absolutely nothing wrong with his Buhari's English. I'm 101% sure it's better than yours.
