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.

Just asking.

It is not the same people, it is the people who organised the one that GEJ alone attend in 2011, after he had shunned the more generally acceptable one organised by Channels and the likes.

They won't be fair, they are the same people smearing his image for weeks now, two things will happen at the debate

1. they will shield Jonathan and all his clulessness
2. they'll bring their Name Smearing business on Buhari to climax.

I don't think it's hard to setup neutral media, if they want a proper debate let a non-partisan media handle it shikena!

You are very right though, maybe what the electorates and APC in particular should make noise about now is that it should be conducted by an independent organisation or media outfit, if you ask me, I can beat my chest to advocate that a media house like channels will do a very good job, I think I would suggest we start looking towards that direction if the time and logistics will still permit, instead of people and APC now looking forward to cancelling the whole idea, America the almighty father of democracy still does it, so I think it would be worth emulating..
Re: Buhari Boycotts Presidential Debate by wirinet(m): 8:34pm On Jan 29, 2015
Lets call a truce;

Jonathan can have his debate with AIT/NTA/FRCN with Pastor Oritsejafor saying the opening prayers and Bishop Oyedepo saying the closing prayers, while Buhari have have his debate with TVC/Premiumtimes/ Saharareporters with Rev. Mbaka saying the opening prayers and pastor Adeboye giving the closing prayers.

It would be difficult for Buhari to face reporters from AIT after the lies and character assasination propaganda they aired last week.

Yes I agree with you, Debate should hold, we want to hear what both parties have for us, but we want it done properly by non-partisan professionals, I believe this is what APC is clamoring for, If they won't do this, then no debate.

Just asking.
The 1999 and 2003 debates were organized by BON (which is now part of NEDG). However, in 2011, two different groups organized debates: the NEDG, and the pay tv channel, NN24. GEJ boycotted the one organized by the latter.

You should rather pity your gullible self because you are there screaming 'change' everyday, yet you know absolutely nothing about the so called change you are talking about. Ask yourself this question, can a criminal like your Jihadist 'messiah' qualify to ever contest an election in an average European country or any decent country? Yet he comes here, and enlists the services of naive and gullible.people like you to be running behind him like those Fulani cows, screaming 'sai buhari', 'change', yet you can't provide any economic blueprint with which the organized private sector can plan with. Yet, the only opportunity for Nigerians to catch a glimpse of what goes on in the head of your daft Jihadist candidate, he runs away, giving a lame duck excuse. Are you guys not ashamed of yourselves, coming on social media everyday to spew trash. By the mercies and grace of God, we will defeat you evil people. GEJ till 2019.

Dubai is not a country. Its a City. The Ruler of Dubai city is Educated internationally and is also a trained pilot. Your argument has no basis

Why are you comparing Nigeria to a City in UAE. I'm seeing a common trend in this GMB supporters.

THE FEAR OF GMB! After watching the hour-long documentary about General Buhari (the man behind the mask), I have realised that Buhari is the only person stopping the PDP and their cronies from continuously looting our treasury. Buhari did not jail or sentenced to death the ordinary citizens or civil servants that collect their monthly salaries. Buhari sentenced to death or imprisoned those that violated the laws at that time. Today, Buhari is not coming as a lawmaker, so he will only enforce the existing laws. The PDP have expressed that they don't like law and order that is why they are afraid of Buhari. The law today is for the ordinary citizens but reverse was the case in the days of Gen. Buhari, the mighty were not spared and that is the singular reason I want him back. The PDP have started telling us how much they love Nigeria as such they don't want it to collapse if Buhari is elected but where is the love for Nigeria they have been preaching? Most of them come into government as average citizens but they leave as billionaires, is that the "love for Nigeria" that they want us to know? Buhari came into power and left the way he came, can they challenge this? The fear of GMB is the beginning of fake propaganda, TV adverts, TV documentaries, death wishes and religious jingoism.

What is the heck about the debate! GEJ boycotted it in 2011, but was hell let loose! The debate has no value to add to the established voting pattern because most people that will watch the debate r educated nigerians, who know how woefully GEJ has performed in the last 6years. what do you want to hear at the debate: Gini index is on the increase,corruption legalized, insecurity everywhere, tompolo n asari licensed to import ammunition, stealing is not corruption, I want to fight corruptn six years after being in power.

You are not adding up, are you?

I want to believe you have watched political debates before. The questions are more or less generic and are directed to each candidate. No-one mandates a candidate to answer in a particular way as every candidate should deploy their discretion to play the questions to their major strength.

Jimi Agbaje, the PDP guber candidate in Lagos has an itinerary on the 30th of this month to attend the Lagos Guber Debate being organised by TVC, the very APC propaganda platform. Jimi being a smart and cerebral person is ever ready to beard a lion in its den. He is ready for whatever APC apparatchik would throw at him.

If Buhari knows his onions, he wouldn't be shirking participation in the debate under the guise of collusion by the organisers.

And has TVC run any repulsive documentary attacking the personality of Agbaje?

This is just like a protest action by GMB, not to honour those that dishonoured him,more so when they are not willing to apologize or address his protest letter.
Re: Buhari Boycotts Presidential Debate by eriatwa(f): 9:14pm On Jan 29, 2015
A blessing in disguise atleast for some of us that are still undecided. For people shouting it is good note that whether your a northern or southerner, Christian or Muslim these pple do not care about us. The only way can challenge them is through forums like this when we our politicians know that it it not business as usual when they get us to follow follow them blindly without asking questions.Even if Buhari becomes the president and he brings the sharia his family will not be affected it is still d poor man that steals ten naira that his hands will be chopped off while his children walk the street of Paris with designers bags

I guess your eyes and ears were both blind and deaf to the aspects of the video that talked about the Afri-Projects Consortium who were sole consultants to PTF, with the mandate of assessing projects, costing the projects, executing the projects, and confirming the quality of projects execution. At the end of the day, 25 billion out of the 100 billion naira PTF funds was missing, and was traced to the consultant. I guess you don't know who owned the company and the fact that he died in questionable circumstances, resulting in your Mr Clean, running the show in the company through his well organized proxies. I'm sure you were also blind and deaf to the 2.8 billion naira missing NNOC (today known as NNPC) money which Shagari government traced to the midlands foreign bank account operated by your Mr Clean, which was the primary reason behind the 1983 coup that ousted Shagari's government. It is clear that your two vital sense organs were playing a trick on you when you were watching the documentary, for that is the only justification for you to come here and attempt to distort historical facts by spewing out this trash you posted here. GEJ till 2019.

Spare me the baloney!

Yesterday TVC aired a sponsored documentary on the past gubernatorial polls in Osun State in what I believe was a retaliatory gesture against the sponsored documentary on AIT about Buhari.

You need to see an amateurish job of trying to re-enact an Idi Amin-like depiction of Jonathan's government.

NTA might be airing mainly PDP advertorials and news items but at least they don't malign APC. For TVC, it is more like APC is a solution to Nigeria's problems while PDP is a party of demons.

I feel so embarrassed most of the time watching the travesty of broadcast journalism out on display therein. At times viewers would call to complain of the flagrant bias, but they would normally be ignored while the name-calling and blackmailing would go on relentlessly.
