Bi Buhari!

Nice one

Hmm

All the other candidates should boycott the debate if Buhari is not forthcoming. Atiku even came prepared to shave Buhari's hair? Perhaps, to unmask Jubril Abdulsudan

No time for nonsense........
This man is just too Atikulate

Good!

ochejoseph:
God bless the incoming President

None of ya business

Buhari bottled it

Man of the moment

Maturity!!

Thunder fire una two!!!! E leri boo meji

Right decision

So the ones that remained there are shaving Buhari's head in his absence. It would have made sense if he participated though

Mr president is just so useless
later in the DAT the lunatic vice president will say he isn't aware of the debate
and Mr lie Mohammed will come with a stewed lie

Funny country

Debate does not win elections. Obasanjo never debated anybody during his two terms. Hilary Clinton beat Trump hands down during the US debates yet Trump won. Instead of Atiku to go on a policy based campaign, he's allowing Saraki to lead him into political destruction. Today alone, APC had political campaign rallies in three states yet Atiku is going to USA to prove a point that won't win him votes. Unfortunately it is the so called alumajiris and poor northerners that vote not the social media warriors. On election day, your social media followers will be at home collating results as if they are INEC while the so-called alumajiris are voting.

Lol

Hmmmm.. Buhari d complete failure!

This man is just too Atikulate

I swear whenever the lifeless I debating, AA will be there

I am a real supporter of Buhari but with this , I am so disappointed in him. It is just as if he is scared of which he is the one that other candidates should scared of.

is he not right? Why would a president dodge a debate

HavocGirlMile99:
He chickened out

Where is miles? Your love has made him forget Nairaland?

Politics as expected to score cheap point. Dude knew President Buhari won't be around. What's stopping him from debating other Presidential candidates.


Further more....



INEC timetable is clear on campaign dates and schedules. That exactly is what President Buhari is doing and inviting him to an independent debate during this quest isn't a proper schedule. I see nothing wrong in Atiku going head to head with other Presidential candidates if he thinks they're worth his time. That's being proud. His excuse is lame, very lame

OEPHIUS:
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.

Secondly, with all due respect to my fellow candidates, Fela Durotoye, Oby Ezekwesili, Kingsley Moghalu and to the moderator Mark Sugar and with apologies to all Nigerians here and at home expecting an interesting debate, I regret that I will not be able to go on with this debate due to President Buhari's absence.

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

Hear Mr. Abubakar: "I regret that I will not be able to go on with this debate due to President Buhari's absence."

In other words, the other debaters already on ground are not worth your salt? That, combined, they're not up to the President in effect?

Is that not what Prof Sagay was saying exactly, and for which some people called for his head?

In any case, who told Mr. Atiku Abubakar that he is worth more than the combination of the other debaters already on the podium for the debate?

Arrogance will always show, no matter the pretense of the arrogant person.

But hey, what do I know?
