And they all lost.

Why not boycott and election organised by INEC since you can boycott a debate organised by BON?
If indeed Buhari is as clean as they say and has nothing to hide, why not present yourself for the debate? How exactly can they exhibit bias against you?

Why get stuck in the past?

If you want to beat a champion/strong man, you should muster enough clout, strategy and brainpower to beard the lion in his den.

The reality of incumbency confers on Jonathan certain fundamental headstart. A serious contender must be ready to surmount the seeming obstacles or else they would fail like the leaders referenced.

This is 2015. If you can't talk to Nigerians in front of TV and answer simple questions, then you can't rule Nigerians. Simples.
Buhari will talk to Nigerians but not through TAN NTA or AIT. Period.

Anyone who doesn't like that can take a mop and head straight to the atlantic ocean. grin

In case you can no longer find your History
books, Obafemi Awolowo, the Great Zik, Aminu
Kano et al boycotted the 1979 presidential
debate organised by the NTA.
On what premise did they boycott the debate?
The same reasons as given by GMB/APC.
Without any bias, the late Owelle of Onitsha, was
the best orator among his political peers in those
days.
Would he have chickened out when he knew he
was going to have a field day debating out his
opponents?
Ditto to Awo! Everybody knew Awo was deep and
highly cerebral,visionary and scholastic to the
core. As a lawyer, his communication strength
was excellent.
So, why did he decline to debate with Shehu
Shagari, a man known for his sublime taciturnity?
As it was then, so it is now.
We have fundamental challenges with our social
institutions.
And this is not limited to the federal government
alone.
The states are also involved..
I've come to realise that social institutions get
compromised by a particular leader in power until
he's no longer there.
This is wrong and must be condemned by every
rational being.
Beyond condemnation, we must strive hard to
restructure the country in a way that our
institutions will stand out at any point in time
regardless of who the president or governor is.

They shunned the debate because the did not want to confront each other.

That is different from today where Buhari shunned the debate because he dey fear make dem no ask am about him wasc certificate and because he no sabi speak turenchi.

Jonathan ran away from confronting Buhari in 2011 in a presidential debate. Get an unbiased media outfit to anchor the debate. We don't want NTA and AIT

Yes, we will debate only when we are dealing with a neutral body. a debate set up by NTA and AIT is no debate but a charade.

APC is too sophisticated to fall for that trap.
