Maple:
The graft allegation against the Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG) has vindicated the All Progressives Congress' stance that the debate was compromised by President Goodluck Jonathan, the Muhammadu Buhari campaign organisation has said. The opposition campaign media and publicity director Malam Garba Shehu said the sordid details coming out of organizations of the debate would have tainted the APC candidate had he presented himself to the group.

A civil society group, Value and Integrity Group alleged at a press conference on Friday, that a First Bank account opened for the NEDG had the founder of a private television network as sole signatory, even though he is not listed as one of the directors of the NEDG. According to leaders of the Value and Integrity Group, Sina Odugbemi and Popoola Ajayi, co-ordinator and secretary respectively, “an initial deposit of N1 million was paid into the said First Bank account, and on March 28, 2011, another N20 million belonging to the NEDG was paid into the personal account of the said founder of the leading private television network.”

The Buhari campaign said “We at the APC Presidential Campaign got the eye-opening news of the press conference by the Value and Integrity Group accusing the Nigeria Election Debate Group, the crux of the allegation being that some members of the NEDG have been monetarily influenced.”It added that “although the group failed to mention from what source the monies came from, we had taken a position, based on intelligence made available to us that the PDP has compromised the integrity of an unnamed few in the NEDG with huge and ridiculous sums of money.”

“And watching President Goodluck Jonathan reading from a prepared script gleefully as he answered questions in the debate confirmed our suspicion that there will be “EXPO”. “These two scenarios: The allegation of corrupt inducements in the NEDG and the president reading from a prepared script during the debate validates our reasons for abstaining from the debate,” Shehu said.

But GMB participated fully in 2011 debate. Jonathan didn't show up for that debate and still won the election. The notion that GMB is scared of debate should be thrown out. This is the same GMB that presented national budget to the nation in 1984 and 1985.

RUBBISH, I have already ordered store-load of champagne to celebrate Jonathan's Victory. Buhari ran away from Debate because illiterates run away from intelligent challenges. I wanted to laugh at that Tinubu's caricature.

He knew he would be asked questions on several sectors of the economy. And he came prepared with facts and figures of gianst strides in certain sectors to back up his presentation. Everyone at d debate came with their own facts they wrote down. That is not an expo. The things he said are things he has said at various fora. How dey stopped fertilizer corruption, the ippis, the e-wallet system. He doesn't need an expo to say all that.
You need not resort to personal attacks to drive home your point

Why is your brain functioning sub-optimally?

Are you that slow to realise that a student who has studied very hard can reasonably anticipate likely questions he might face in an examination?

If you were going for a presidential debate, would you be needing a babalawo to tell you that you would be asked questions on security, power, education, agriculture, economy, fight on corruption and other major themes?

So what is wrong if the president prepared notes or chits considering the huge data he has to contend with? So you were expecting him to be making guesswork/approximations and thereby provide a veritable ammunition to the APC propaganda machine?

I was expecting you to have reckoned that other participants in the debate are not in office and so would only provide flowery rhetorics. They have no performance that would be recalling.

I met that debate belatedly and there was nothing suggesting that Jonathan was unduly favoured. He got timed out by the buzzer whenever his responses were lengthier than the alloted time just like everybody else.

You guys should concern yourselves with the backlash from Nigerians. Your party/candidate has proved beyond reasonable doubt that it is a serial debate dodger.

Presenting a prepared budget in 1984-85 when Buhari was 40-50 years of age is different from today, you know that? Buhari's memory has slowed down to a trickle, he can hardly remember basic facts like the full meaning of APC, and you want him to debate
