PRESS STATEMENT BY APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL:
WHY PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI DID NOT ATTEND THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ORGANISED BY THE NIGERIA ELECTION DEBATE GROUP AND THE BROADCASTING ORGANISATIONS OF NIGERIA
The President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who is also the APC Presidential Candidate in the forthcoming Presidential Election, President Muhammadu Buhari, could not attend the Presidential Debate organised by the Nigeria Election Debate Group and the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria which held today, Saturday, January 19, 2019 for the following reasons:
Firstly, out of several opportunities afforded our candidate to interact with the Nigerian people directly by different organisations, our presidential candidate has taken full advantage of another town-hall meeting organized by another group which held on Wednesday, January 16, 2019. He was also joined at that town-hall meeting by our Vice-Presidential candidate who is also the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. Nigerians from all walks of life who were physically present and through on-line platforms asked uncensored questions which were adequately answered. It was also transmitted live by various broadcast networks in Nigeria.
In addition, the busy and hectic official and campaign schedules of Mr. President clashed with this programme. Today, Mr. President commissioned the Baro Inland Water Port in Niger State and campaigned in Niger and Plateau States where his time was over-stretched by the tumultuous and mammoth crowds in both States, (as seen by Nigerians on live television) and only returned to Abuja late this evening.
Whilst we thank the organisers for the invitation, we want to assure Nigerians that we shall continue to hold these debate groups and Nigerians in high esteem which our candidate has demonstrated during past election debates when he honoured similar invitations. Nigerians will also recall that a few weeks ago, our Vice-Presidential candidate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, also attended the debate organized by the same organisations.
Lastly, we note the statement of the candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who actually came for the event and left the venue when he did not see Mr. President, who is our candidate. According to him, he would not want to “attack” Mr. President in his absence.
It should now be obvious to Nigerians that for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP, this election is all about attacking the person and programmes of Mr. President and not about proffering their own solutions to the problems they created during their sixteen years of misrule, maladministration and looting of the nation’s resources. When they cannot see President Buhari to attack, the content of their campaign becomes hollow, empty and “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. Now that Atiku Abubakar had a unique opportunity to explain to Nigerians his own vision and mission without a President Buhari in the picture, he ran away. Afterall, he has his own eight years of crass and grand corruption as Vice President to defend before the Nigerian people.
On February 16, 2019 we urge Nigerians to demonstrate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP, through their votes, how empty indeed their campaign has always been and to vote massively for President Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN who have started the rebuilding process of our great nation.
Thank you.

Atiku is a shameless cretin. He went to the venue of the debate to take pictures and not to engage other candidates. Nigerians cannot be fooled , we understand his antics. What’s more disgraceful for him is how he disrespected the other candidates and millions of Nigerians who wanted to engage and listen to him. He’s as empty as we suspected. He’s only in the race to loot and enrich himself. Dude is a real fraud. Its funny how most people react to issues who's more disrespectful Buhari that didn't show up at all in the name of campaign or Atiku that was in the venue and left at least he showed up Buhari who chikened away in the name of campaign that can be postponded or was he not informed of the date?

Could he not have detailed you or anyone to commission whatever it was at Baro in other to squeeze out an hour to discuss with other candidates? We shall vote him out come February. He has done his best but the suffering is too much. Thank you. |

Although Atiku Abubakar was wrong for not engaging other candidates due to some of the reasons he gave; but if u call Atiku Abubakar a Shameless cretin what will u call the president? If u say Atiku disrespected his supporters, don't u think the President disrespected the entire nation by not coming out to tell us why we should reelect him? More so, that statement by Festus Kenyamo (SAN) as the reason for the Presidents absence from the debate is baseless and just a damage control protocol. Itse Sagay gave a different reason earlier (although also false) Nigerians are wiser now. We can no longer be fooled into accepting a packaged expired product..

Debate is not campaign.
At a campaign, you are free to market yourself with unrealistic promises like "I will make N1 equal to $1. I will stabilise the price of crude in the international market. I will pay every unemployed youth a stipend till they get job etc.
But at a debate you are made to explain "how" you intend to achieve that.
If one will not come to answer "how", then he's not serious How u intend to achieve that in 2mins?Look Bros,there are many forums a candidate that sell himself:e.g rally,town hall meetings,radio & TV adverts,jingles,bill boards,house to house campaigns, party manifestoes,social media.do u know that Saturday debates most of d adverts on that program are for Buhari/APC campaigns.buhari use sense to sell himself while Atiku shot himself in d foot. |

We should have all been aware by now that Atiku is a fraud, he is an empty barrel and all his noise is directed at attacking this current administration, because I don’t understand why he would base his whole debate strategy solely on one person. What happened to the other candidate? Whatever happened to Nigerians who were hoping to hear him talk about what he has in store for them? He let his ego have a better standing than the nation he is campaigning to lead
