Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, has called on the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari, not to evade the forthcoming 2015 presidential debate as he had done in previous elections.

Kuku who was the guest speaker at the annual lecture of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Ondo State chapter, on Thursday, said the APC presidential candidate had continued to evade presidential debates where he would have had the opportunity of answering many questions in the minds of Nigerians.

He said Buhari’s claims of the knowledge of how to fix the economy were not based on any realistic idea but on wishful thinking.

He said, “General Buhari has contested election three times for the presidency. In all the elections he has refused to attend presidential debates. Let us demand that he must attend presidential debate this time.”

He also said that those packaging his campaigns should prepare him for the debate so that Nigerians could ask him questions about the economy.

“He said when he becomes President he would stabilize the oil price, is he OPEC? We will not vote for Nigerian president that will be disgracing the country,” Kuku said.

He said, “Nigerians must demand for debate. President Goodluck Jonathan must be ready for debate, General Buhari must be ready for debate. And that debate must give access to Nigerians to ask questions on the economy and politics of the country.”

Kuku also noted that the government of President Jonathan had reduced corruption and supported the anti-corruption agency in their fight against corruption in the country.

While blaming the judiciary for frustrating the efforts of the EFCC and ICPC, Kuku noted that Jonathan’s opponents also had traces of corruption while they were in office.

Kuku should send that advice to Jonathan. Buhari never shuned any debate before. It was Jonathan who ran from debate in 2011.

The die is cast

Buhari no go come ... GEJ till 2019!!!

yes oh

we must have debate this time

Let all candidates be ready

Let only the moderators ask the question

No shouting or clapping by the audience except for when then candidates are entering the scene.

once the debates start all we want to hear are the candidates. We need to hear from these candidates

Is this a Joke. Nigerians definitely knew who shuns presidential debates in previous time. No one but the great clueless of our time GEJ. Tell him we will not take a Wizkid as moderator this time.

Lol,Kingsley kuku no go kill person with laugh oooo,no be Jonathan dey evade the last presidential debate cos of his daftness.
Well we are eagerly waiting for the presidential debates,not to forget the vice presidential debates too where I expect Osinbajo to murder Sambo Dumbo,that is if he does not run away.

Wow.... I guess the man was drunk while talking. Thats what I can decipher from his ironic statement.

Debate ke!
That will be a HUGE APC disgrace!

TUFIAKWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Don't be overconfident about GEJ. Watch Buhari debate performance of 2011 here:

APC rigged the primaries for Buhari by skipping debates!

Anybody who thinks they are somebody can now open their dirty mouth and address people whose achievement they can never attain in their miserable corrupt lifetime

Debate against a candidate like GEJ is the easiest thing in the world.

Buhari attended the last presidential debate. It was Jonathan that refused to show up. Later he organized his own debate where he was just talking to himself alone in front of the cameras.

Hai!!!!!!

This man is either a clown or just confused. We know who evades debate na.
I hope e wnt send okonjo to represent em dis time

very soon there many of you will still want to defect,what so ever you say now will be used against you then

We know the person that avoided 2011 Presidential debate

which debate? GMB sir! ignore it, shun it, even moon it. ask me how many debates held since 1999? how many did OBJ, Yaradua & GEJ participate in? did their absence stop their winning? d peculiarity of our current situation doesn't call for dis western/elite arrangemnt. we don't need any Yaradua's 7point agenda anyway. just giv us 2point - security &transparency - other things wd follow, and we ar good to go. Jona's aids know he's well at vantage position here; he has peeped into d answers having tasted d soup for 6 yrs, is it d man they keep attackking dt he cdnt use d computer (as if leadership is rocket science) dt they want him to face?

MichaelSokoto:

It baffles me how some Nigerians, especially youths reason.

The 2011 presidential debate attended by Buhari, Shekarau and Ribadu was organized by by a private cable station on DSTV N24, not unpopular. How many people own DSTV?, how many watch the channel? Not even in existence anymore.

Meanwhile, there is a widely recognised election debate body in Nigeria that uses ALL TV and RADIO stations. The President agreed to the general debate because that was the right and BEST platform. The other candidate chose the former. Again, a sitting president does not have the luxury of time to attend multiple debate. Jonathan used a bigger platform to sell his ideas. I'm sure Buhari will learn to use the MAIN platform this year.

FastShipping:
Kuku should send that advice to Jonathan. Buhari never shuned any debate before. It was Jonathan who ran from debate in 2011.

where did you get this picture from?



kuku is suffering from agnosia for saying buhari played truancy to debate. He should tell that to his boss who has not been able to manage open campain rally and, i'm not sure how he's going to perform in a debate.

MichaelSokoto:

kuku must be having a great sense of amnesia .

'Oshunbande is a man of impeachable integrity".

MUHAMMADU BUHARI
APC serial "arodan" presidential aspirant.

Kuku shld kukuma hang himself.

Such advise should go to Jonathan who has NEVER showed-up for a debate.
