[size=16pt]It has been my expectation. It is long expected even though, it has not happen, but fully sure is going to happen.

There is no amount of reason(s) that will be given for his non-appearance than his style of trying to dulge questions like

1.) How will he fight the Boko Haram, which he has no ideal. He has been saying "I will fight Boko Haram"...How? No idea

2.) How will he stabilised the price of oil, which he knows he can't answer any economy question. "I will stabilize oil price"...How? No idea

3.) About his certificate, which he has no solution to it? Neither did he have it .Ashamed of being regarded as incorruptible, but yet, fake certificate saga.

4.) How will he create jobs for the masses? "I will create job"...How? No idea

5.) Being a religious fundamentalist. Which will be difficult to defend.

6.) His pasted atrocities against the Yoruba leaders (so many to mentioned) and some other notable Nigerians in the name of fighting corruptions, which no answer to justify his actions.

APC know he cannot answer most of question on how is going to govern Nigeria beyond I WILL ...., but how, He has no idea. APC is trying to use Osinbanjo clean his (Buhari's) image and weakness. What a shame![/size]

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.

fairheven:
Why didn't they involve credible an independent minded TV stations like CHANNELS?

babyosisi:


The man obviously cannot think on his feet
An intelligent with a precise and convincing plan will boldly face his enemy in their own turf
This man wants to be president and he is as fearful and cowardly as this
That should set off a red flag
He is unfit to rule

wildikeman:
if Matin Luther king and other great heroes had abandoned every debate and public occasions such as this because of biased minds against them. What would have happened to the human race. we need Umbrella and a perhaps a clueless president to represent us ...we don't need cowards. We don't need Buhari!!!

verygudbadguy:


I would love him (GMB) to pertake in the debate but trust politicians, they go extra mile to prove their points. I'm sure some other groups would come up with debate ideas if he eventually boycotts this one.

This country cannot afford to remain like this. I pray for God's intervention in the incoming administration so that we can have leaders who would consider the interest of the masses rather than theirs.

Is Dubai ruled by PHD holders?so pls stop d noise about degree and let concentrate on getting things done in Nigeria.if we av been doing same thing with same party for so long without any change ,would it not be wise to do it differently. If degree holders have not succeeded during d democratic suspension then let give BUHARI a chance.

ignis:
It's now obvious that this man is an illiterate.
Like seriously, why is he scared of debate?
Anyway he took the right decision, because the effect of going for the debate is more catastrophic than the affect of boycotting it.
This remind me of the saying, "it's better to keep quiet let others think you are a fool than opening your mouth and clear all doubts".

GMB is a wise man.

Forwetinnah:


I keep reminding people like you that Buhari NEVER RULED FOR ONE DAY in the 80s, all he did was hunt down his enemies while Idiagbon did all the ruling..even if it was organized " on an empty ground", he still wouldn't come. Buhari is someone who doesn't want his authority challenged, to him he doesn't need to explain himself to anyone and he knows he has quite a lot to answer to

naijadeyhia:
AIT and NTA would surely handpick the questions they would ask GEJ and even at that they would surely give him the questions in advance so he can prepare for them aka expo. Buhari is not afraid of any debate but in all fairness if a debate must hold it has to be organized by a neutral body like Channels, STV and TVC. Let all players have an equal opportunity to show their worth not using NTA and AIT because we all know whom they represent.

shut the Bleep up! it's only a dead man that can't defend himself.

elantraceey:
Not suprised .


He knows people won't understand 70% of what he will say hence the fear .



If he doesn't trust that body the both should put head together and bring up another instead of making excuses.

dunkem21:


I really wonder what we got ourselves into.
A smart person will take this opportunity and score valuable political points instead of chickening out.
How can a timid man like this, dream of being a president; Oh, Nigerians? ..at this age?
Talk about your certificate, you no gree; Debate again, you run.

I ask, would Osinbajo decline a debate session even if its NTA conducting it?

Why is the APC bent on foisting a mediocre to Nigerians?

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.

luvprince4real:
D very day APC presented buhari as their flag bearer was d day dey lost d election. I was expecting pple like Fashola, tambuwal, oshomole, kwankwaso even shetima. Buhari is not salable there4 will not win. in nigeria religion is politics and a known religious extremist weda christian or muslim (except God says otherwise) will nt win an election in nigeria. I wonder y d north need's dis power so desperately y is anybody not thinking about d ibos? Ar they not nigerians? Since after d days of dr. nnamdi azikiwe and aguiyi ironsi who was killed in 1966 by d animal called theophilus danjuma now calling for d arrest of niger delta ex war lords bcus of his interest in d niger delta (oil block), no ibo man/woman has ever occupied dat seat, as a nigerian who believe in equity and fairness here is my verdict
GEJ till 2019
An ibo man (even if na slowpoke) 2019-2027.
Then we will think of who next.

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.
