Good luck
I mean better luck

I mean you, I see you're an Arsenal fan, just like winger is a "specialist in failure", So is Buhari. We are waiting for his next failure. Slave.

CityNG:


That's the beauty of all of this political debate. You have access to internet but you're still basically an illiterate, a cum filled one perhaps.

Ode. By refusing to show up for the debate your illiterate messiah has shown that he is arrogant and lacks confidence.. You silly gay am sure you have a picture of him you daily use for your masturbation. You demented sex pervert

IMPRESSIVE... ALL CANDIDATES HAVE WHAT IT TAKES ,IF WE BASE IT ON TODAY'S DEBATE ESPECIALLY MARTIN'S ONOVO, HE WAS SO DETAILED AND BELIEVES THAT NIGERIA CAN BE FIXED WITH EASE WHICH I CONCUR WITH.

APC supporters shouldn't have comment on this post, they should cover their face in shame. I still see some APC supporters trying to justify buhari's absence in the debate. No wonder they said even if buhari and tinubu are shown robbing a bank, their supporters will still vote for them. What a blind group of pple , so pathetic !

I'm very amaze at d level of ur stupidity.... Like seriously, u gat no match

Buhari is a bloody bastard.

anonimi:


If I am not mistaken, Jonathan attended at least ONE debate in 2011.

Can we assume that Buhari will also be attending at least ONE debate this year

Oga, you can't eat your cake and have it.

Below is the Clueless one debating alone on state television after shunning two major presidential debates ahead of the polls

I can see you ran out of ideas, Now run along you brainless twerp. Buhari IS waiting for you.

I watched the debate from start to finish,didn't see anyway it was compromised to favour mr president.The same questions were asked across board

Firefire:
I don't know what APC is trying to hide for Nigerians.

They alleged that the debate organizers were compromised by Goodluck Jonathan.

Channels offered it platform, APC still absconded.

PDP offer to engage Buhari in TVC or any provided media house of APC's choice, APC still say NO!

I presume, they don't want Nigerian to know the extent of Mr. Buhari IQ

- His controversial school certificate

- His state of health

- His ability to communicate could also be a major issue.

"The All Progressives Congress (APC) Director of Strategy, Dele Alake, has said that the party’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, would not attend the presidential debate organised by Channels Television, Arise TV and NPAN".

Alake accused some Nigerian media organisations of being compromised. He said that he could not vouch for the independence of some of the organisers of the debate

Nigerians, time to CHANGE your camp. What is APC hiding ?

Collynzo419:
Hogwash!

Over the last 2 months, the PDP has embarked on a negative crusade--casting aspersions on the person of General Buhari, sponsoring false stories about Buhari/ APC leadership through their proxies like (Hope for Nigeria) etc. The campaign by the PDP has not been issue based, rather they have been using politicians such as Fayose who has spent over N100 Million on newspaper adverts to declare Buhari dead, sick etc, yet the popularity of Buhari continues to skyrocket.

It will be folly on the part of APC and General Buhari to participate in this charade of a debate, conducted by cronies of this corrupt administration. General Buhari has made his stance and policies clearly known to Nigerians through the APC Manifesto, numerous lectures, town hall meetings with the Organised Private Sector, Women associations, Youth groups and NGOs. Nigerians trust and believe in him.

They want change from this non- performing administration that has economically desecrated the nation even when they experienced the highest international oil prices in the history of the state.

Change is coming. Six days and Nigerians will send Jonathan to Otueke where he can debate with all the fishermen in his village for as long as he wants.

#wehavedecided

Please stop giving excuses for GMB running away from debates or public contests against other candidates. Everything he does has to be doctored or pre-planned.

Thank you.

That was what APC alleged as been compromised.


Can you imagine that ?

omenka:
Illiterate Spongebob. I double dare you to go beyond this phrase and see if you don't end up renting the air with your grammatical torpedoes.

You call me illiterate? Thank you for that complement. That means I be nominated as APC presidential candidate in 2019.


Praise God.

For those saying buhari attended 2011 debate did u guys watched it. I did and buhari was a kindergarten debater. He could only string together a couple of meaningless words bfor the alarm sounded. Those sentences were always characterized by ehh ehh ehh ehh.

Do u knw he's old enough to b ur father if not ur grandfather so show some respect.
Only those wiit PVC can decide.

What are you looking for GMB?
Just to refresh your memory,
AT THE LAST 2011 PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL DEBATE, THE CANDIDATE WHO DID NOT ATTEND IT WON THE ELECTION.
You are witnessing a repeat.

You forgot to add that d same candidate was already a sitting president and not one aspiring to become president...

OPINIONS ARE DIVIDED ON THE REASONS OF
OPINIONS ARE DIVIDED ON THE REASONS OF SECURITY ADDUCED FOR SHIFTING THE POLLS FOR WHICH GOV’T IS BEING BLAMED WHEREAS MANY BELIEVE INEC WAS NOT READY. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

While various opinions being peddled around speculating on the rationale for shifting of the polls, the compelling facts that eventually rendered February 14 unsuitable were quite simply the obvious security situation, and INEC’s unpreparedness.  Both these reasons were plainly valid.
The security situation in the north eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe was such that if elections had been held, large numbers of Nigerians would have been disenfranchised. In this context, which ever party lost could use the fact of low voter participation to generate interminable post-election crisis that the country does not need. Conducting the elections in those States with swathes of territories still disrupted by Boko Haram would have been a very daring undertaking and definitely not in the interest of election personnel.
Therefore the decision to shift the election dates and vigorously address security has achieved two objectives. First was to demonstrate President Jonathan’s determination to enfranchise voters wherever they may be located. This is significant because some of these areas are assumed to be opposition zones. Secondly, the decisive, speedy and stunning victories of the Nigerian forces have resulted in the liberation of virtually all of the north eastern territories previously under Boko Haram. This liberated condition automatically provides the opportunity for the voters in these areas to exercise their franchise that would not have been possible if the elections had been held in February.
With regards to INEC, I found it very strange that the Chairman of INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, failed to disclose to the public the actual reason he postponed the elections. In his presentation to the Council of State a few days before he made the postponement announcement, he had admitted that a number of critical elements for free, fair and credible elections were not yet in place. As at the 7th of February, the date of his world press conference, of the 68.8 million Nigerians registered to vote, only 45.8 million had collected their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs).
This meant that a total of 23 million (33.8%) registered voters had not yet collected their PVCs. It was obvious that it was not logistically possible for INEC to complete the distribution of the said 23 million cards in the one week left before the elections. If INEC had proceeded with elections on the 14th of February, 23 million registered voters would have been disenfranchised.
The skewed distribution of cards affected states that were not necessarily PDP states.
The issue of card readers, which INEC proposed to use, is a new device based on a new technology that had never been demonstrated or tested in situ in any Nigerian locality or previous elections. The first tests only recently carried out three weeks after the 14th of February recorded massive failure. For some unknown reasons, Jega is determined to throw Nigeria into unprecedented confusion with this ill designed contraption otherwise referred to as card readers on the 28th of March…

HOW DO YOU SEE THE PRESIDENTIAL POLL PLAYING OUT BETWEEN JONATHAN AND BUHARI BASED ON YOUR PERCEPTION OF THEIR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. THE PLATFORMS BOTH ARE CONTESTING ON ARE STRONG. BEYOND THAT, JONATHAN HAS THE POWER OF INCUMBENCY. BUT BUHARI IS ALSO POSITIONED AS THE RARE ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADER WE NEED.

I would say that earlier on my belief that President Jonathan has a good strong chance of winning the election derived from perception. I am now firmly convinced that, in fact, he will win the election resoundingly. This is based on the strength of rousing public awareness that woke to his spectacular accomplishments under his Transformation Agenda covering several strategic spheres including education, agriculture, aviation, roads and railway, industry such as motor car manufacturing, power and the economy.
He as President is leader of a broad based party which is not owned by any individual but a party that is well rooted across the entire nation with more than 70% of the local councilors being PDP members. Jonathan, educated to PhD level, is of the prevailing generation and in sync with the new Nigeria.
General Muhamadu Buhari, contesting the presidency for the fourth time, was in office as Head of State some 32 years ago when he  dethroned the democratically elected government of President Shehu Shagari.He is remembered as the ruthless military leader who seized power and would not entertain anyone discuss any plan to return the country to civil democratic rule. Politicians remember him, how aggressively he hunted down key politicians across the length and breadth of the country.
This hunt was selective as he manipulated the escape of selected tribal friends. He was the author of the infamous Decree 2, an instrument used to muzzle the press. Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor, among others were imprisoned. Death sentences were recklessly passed on civilians through the instrumentality of a hurriedly enacted decree back dated! Plea for mercy from inside and outside Nigeria on some of the condemned civilians, including a woman, was ignored. He ordered the selective trial of politicians for alleged corruption and jailed those from a part of the country to ridiculous terms of hundreds of years each.
Buhari has failed to make the presidency three times. After the 2011 elections, he wept publicly and announced that he was not going to present himself again in contest for the presidency. It is true that over the past 16 years, he has managed to acquire a good crowd of die hard followers from a number of his homeland constituencies.
Political contractors from southern Nigeria, particularly from a South West state, cashing in on the North-South political rivalry, the religious issue and the insecurity in north eastern Nigeria, have virtually recruited the general and persuaded him to recant on his 2011 proclamation not to contest again. These political contractors see Buhari’s candidature as the convenient route for them to grab Nigeria.
Those parading Buhari, singing a song of CHANGE, have now been challenged by many to define the change they are really talking about and whether they are talking of moving Nigeria from the digital age of today back to the analog age of 1983. The media is now awash with the Transformation projects executed by President Jonathan and many are arguing that those successful projects are indeed the change that you can see.
The GMB handlers, who advised the general to steer clear of an open debate with Jonathan, have tried hard to formulate a platform for their man creating a false image of him as an anti-corruption man. This is pure balderdash!! My first assignment as adviser to government in 1994/95 was to prepare the memo on which basis the PTF – Petroleum Trust Fund-was created. As Chairman of this juicy portfolio over which the general enjoyed unfettered control, the PTF was funded with a total of around 180 billion Naira between 1994 and 1999.
The general failed to curb stinking corruption in the organization but authorized more than 70% of the funds to be spent in his own part of the country. An Interim Management Committee, headed by his own kinsman, Haroun Adamu, discovered that over 25 billion Naira was stolen under GMB watch in PTF. I suppose this fact is recorded in the OBJ watch since he set up the Haroun Adamu Interim Chairmanship. GMB cannot claim to be an example of anti-corruption.
As Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources, it was discovered that $2.8 billion of Nigeria’s oil money was withdrawn from the Midland Bank London and the funds lodged into an account in a bank where it generated interest amounting then to over 400 million pounds which vanished into private pockets.
The entire anti-corruption and integrity campaign has collapsed and the final nail on the coffin of that campaign was the airing of The LionOf Bourdillon.  As for the issue of security as it pertains to the menace of Boko Haram ravaging the North East, it is now also clear who really were supporters of the Muslim fundamentalist attacks on Nigeria but mischievously turned around to blame President Jonathan. President Jonathan was left to equip a military, army, air force and navy, over night. He has done a yeoman’s job that during the last four weeks the insurgents have been virtually cleared from Nigerian soil.
The overwhelming opinion across the country at this time has swung in favor of President Jonathan and it is obvious that the overall peace and stability of Nigeria will be guaranteed by his election.

DO YOU REGRET LEAVING THE APC, WHICH HAS, TODAY, BECOME THE MOST FORMIDABLE OPPOSITION EVER TO THE RULING PDP?

It was an experience of great joy and satisfaction for me to host and lead the process that gave birth in February 2013, at my Abuja residence, to the All Progressive Congress (APC) with the successful unification of the major opposition parties – ACN, ANPP, CPC and a part of APGA.
Several failed attempts had been made by various people since 1999, to strengthen the opposition by uniting a number of the opposition parties. This had not been successful for a number of reasons prominent among which was always personal interest and ambition. Consequently, most well known leaders, particularly in the ranks of the former ACN, never thought it would be possible to achieve the unification. As soon as it became apparent that we would succeed, a number of them, notably the current self proclaimed leader of the party moved in to seize control of the party and has since employed every means to retain his hold.
It became clear to me that an agenda was brewing as the main objective of the new party. This included a move to install General Muhamadu Buhari as President with Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Vice President notwithstanding the facts that both men are Muslims with credentials I do not agree with. Most of my colleagues in the top leadership of the party also became aware of this trend. They merely grumbled about it but seemed not able to muster the courage to openly fight against it.
The first National Convention was an abysmal failure. The event was a mere charade at which a cabal succeeded in installing a group of cronies as the party National Executive. Core leaders of the legacy parties found themselves trapped in this arrangement, which turned out to be the construction of a framework dedicated to just one objective, which was to bring down President Goodluck Jonathan and install Buhari and Tinubu.
Notwithstanding Tinubu’s failure to make the ticket recently for this election, I am convinced that Professor Osinbajo has only been brought in as a stepping-stone and much has been spoken about this already. I observed the negotiations between ACN and CPC in 2011 at which Tinubu insisted that Pastor Bakare, who was already picked as running mate to Buhari by CPC, should provide an undated letter of resignation as Vice President. The pastor refused and so the negotiations broke down.
My quest for an alternative political platform in the country was not motivated towards fulfilling any personal ambition to contest for executive power but I hold firmly that it is in the best interest of our country to have a credible structure of two strong political parties that would guarantee the necessary checks and balances in the system. Notwithstanding the negative trends exhibited by the APC at this time, I believe a robust political contest has, at last, arrived. But this is not the time to cede government to a desperate upstart commanding a vengeful army of flatterers all with a mission of stampeding an illusory enemy.
In conclusion, I have no regrets at all leaving the APC as I have always viewed a political party as a congregation of like-minded persons who become welded together in a close-knit brotherhood in a manner beyond mere friendship. I find the APC now a collection of strange bedfellows of very ambitious people of diverse interests all constantly plotting against each other

Valendo:

Ode in case you don't know GEJ debated in 2011 but not all the debates. Of course your common sense ought to inform you that he would probably be busy then such that he couldn't attend all the presidential debates. Now tell me which one has you Olodo attended? Mention one for me. Look the issue here isn't that Jonathan is perfect or the best but wen compared with Buhari, he is certainly way way above that illiterate. My fears for Youths is that sometimes most of us are gullible. Any sensible human being will know that Jonathan is actually doing his best. The questions we should ask ourselves is, can development take place in a. Single day? We all know its a process. And again we should also ask ourselves if the policies of jonathan led govt. can propel Nigeria to a greater height. Once we can answer these questions without any sentiment, then we'll be able to chose the right candidate. God bless Nigeria and pls stay clear of violence.

Like all 3 candidates didn't have somethin more important to do then abi?

U also asked if development can take place in a single?
Ok!

How come bh issue iz been resolved under 2 weeks after loss of lives for d past 5 yrs?
Ehn?

Mtchew!

Dindinrin, crack head ashewo,

Him avoiding the debate shows that he doesn't believe in that process as it's an idiotic sham.

I'm sure you have a replica Love Machine of Jonathan that you use on that maggot infested cave between your kwashiorkor legs.

OLADD:


You're a liar. Jonathan attended one of the two debates of 2011. If Buhari was not comfortable with AIT, why did he decline that of Channels?

You have just been parroting "Jonathan attended one of the two debates of 2011" without providing the proof that Jonathan attended any presidential debate in 2011. Please provide us with links or pictures of the presidential debate Jonathan attended in 2011.

Since PDP had never thought presidential debates were important in the past, i wonder why the cries all of a sudden.

barcanista:
General Buhari that claims to be a reformed "democrat" and his party that claims to be of change arrogantly boycott every Presidential debate and closed their doors for any possible debate. Nigerians are smarter than they think.

By God's Grace you shall cry by this time next week.

Kachisbarbie:


haahahhaha @gladiators.
You know that's the problem we have in the country, we have opposition but no viable opposition.

APC which happens to be the only viable opposition is just a bunch of repositioned and defected set of politicians.
A lot of them were once pledging alliance to PDP hah?

Why would you have a problem with not knowing Onovo previously in the political sphere?
At some point we didn't know GEJ and co.

It starts with a step in the right direction. We should endeavour to give the underdogs a chance.

Realize that GEJ has been in the political scene even before he became the vice to Yar'adua. what I'm saying is that you can't just wake up one day and decide to run for presidency which happens to be the highest political office in the land.

Aside from that, his party hasn't really done a good job selling him to Nigerians. Relatively speaking Nigerians just don't know them (other party candidates excluding the APC/PDP) well enough.

Demdem:
Only fools will call that question and answer time a debate.

The one Buhari attended in 2011 you people are boasting of, is it better than this one?

I dont even see the sense and wisdom in #GMB #Change sitting on any stage debating the dumb, cortup, incompetent and lying dullard.

#Change is all we need, not some silly and meaningless debate with thst clown. .
