PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 31/12/2018

“THE CANDIDATES”
A PRESIDENTIAL TOWNHALL SERIES

As 91 political parties and their respective Presidential candidates vie to lead Nigeria’s next administration in the 2019 Election, ‘The Candidates’ a presidential town hall co-production between Daria Media and NTA, supported by the MacArthur Foundation, launches on the 9th of January, 2019.

The Candidates, is a four-part, two-hour live televised town hall meeting series, of the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates for the four leading political parties. These parties were selected from the results of multiple polls aggregated by the Centre for Democracy and Development.

The Candidates’ Presidential town hall will take place as follows:

Kingsley Moghalu and running mate, Umma Getso of the Young Progressive
Party – 9th January, 2019

Muhammadu Buhari and running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, All Progressives Congress Party –16th January, 2019

Omoyele Sowore and running mate, Rabiu Ahmed Rufai, of the African Action Congress Party -23rd January, 2019

Atiku Abubakar and running mate, Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party – 30thJanuary, 2019

Kadaria Ahmed, arguably Nigeria’s foremost broadcaster and journalist will moderate each town hall.

The late John McCain was once quoted as saying, “The benefit of an open town hall meeting is one that you get to hear a lot of different views, and two it has credibility”.

The Candidates will provide a unique platform for direct interaction between the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates of the leading political parties in Nigeria and citizens.

There will be an audience of 100 people for each town hall, including CSOs and the Diplomatic Corps, as well as citizens (who have applied online via daria.media) selected via an impartial and fair application process; other participants will join the conversation via social media and phone calls. It will be an opportunity for Nigerians to hear directly from the aspirants and to ask them questions on governance and nation building.

The Candidates, will be broadcast across Nigeria on all platforms: live on NTA, and on all Radio Nigeria stations, other partner TV stations, as well as streamed online at www.dtv.media to enable Nigerians in the diaspora and those not near television screens to participate.

Watching NTA is like travelling through a time machine



Who else noticed Kadaria Ahmed is single?

buhari knows if he goes alone he will fool himself there thats why he want to take osibanjo along

I can bet you that as long as it's NTA, Buhari is already aware of the questions.
I can also bet you that it can never be aired Live. It may seem to Nigerians like it's live but it would have been coming delayed to allow for editing and cutting off of his goofs and obvious signs of senility. Why do you think buhari always goofs whenever he travels abroad? Because the likes of Shehu Garba, Femi Adesina or Festus keyamo can not get the foreign media to edit their interviews of him.

Even the presidential debate coming up, Buhari's coming is only premised on his aides and media handlers muscling the debate organisers like Momoh into giving them the questions ahead of time as expo. Should they fail at achieving this before the date, Buhari will not come

NTA ke?? Why only NTA... That's an arranged interview already jare. If buhari is a man of integrity as he claims, he should appear live on other TV stations nationwide without prior knowledge to the topic of discuss or questions.

Dull baba who travels once its time for presidential debate .. Mtwwssseeeee

I just wanna ask the mallam where the kept the $1b meant for the procurement of arms for the military

Rehearsed interview

Someone will finish school and look for a job for almost 3 years and finally gets a job offer,the pay is just 30k, he/she just accepts the offer because they have been jobless for a while,they are tired of being dependent.
Fam!!!
Living Nigeria is so difficult.

Meanwhile militants are living their best lives.

If you get raped in Lagos.
-Do not shower (it's would be hard)
-Go to the Mirabel centre ( an Ngo with a proper rape kit, that would take DNA samples and get justice for you.
-or go to 48/50, Odunlami Street, opposite the Bookshop House Lagos Island. Do drop samples .
For free
It high time we start following proper process to ensure Rapist and sexual offenders get what they deserve.
Enough of just only seeking justice on twitter, make them answerable to the law... DNA evidence won't lie.

-@WARIF_NG Is always ready to also help for free, from medical to legal and counselling!!!

Why both of them, why not only the president?

People only want the president to speak as the number one citizen, you guys wants to play us so that the vice president can be answering all the question.

Please we want omly the president next time. I am not against his re-election that's if he know what he's doing, but if he doesn't know what he's doing there.

I guess it's time he move back to Duara

NTA is a glorified Radio Hausa, presidential debate or nothing.

Failed attempt at absconding from the LIVE DEBATE

What excuse do they want to give now

Just appear at the debate...Full stop.

I'll watch

Stolen already

Sai Baba will surely steal the show.

I pity those who will vote for these set of criminals

The hurricane

delugajackson:
Buhari lacks the intellectual capacity for mental rigour. The dullard can hardly express himself without an already written speech.

With his bad comprehension skills, inability to engage in critical thinking and poor grip of the economy, I doubt if he would attempt to answer any question directed at him. The man is a complete dunce.

Reason he is called dullardino

Buhari attending any live debate is same as expecting Acmilan to win the serie A


Kolewerk.

So true.
Even the VP's debate was even controlled from Aso rock. How else can one explain that questions were not asked on security,with so much insecurity in our nation today;BH attack,herdmen attack,political assassinations etc

All can now see that Mohomodu Buhari lacks any single integrity

Why conduct the Useless NTA interview before the main debate organised by BON?

NTA is a Fraudulent TV station and handbag of FG to do dirty Media scams..
NTA wants to give Buhari an excuse to avoid the man Presidential debate orgamised by BON with the excuse that he already did debate with NTA.

Buhari, we dont care if you do the yeye scripted and edites circus Interview organised by NTA, but Thunder go fire you if you dont appear before Nigerians to do the general Presidential debate.
Mumu President like u.

CONFIRM

Did you say NTA? ?...... We've been scammed already.
