Two days after Muhammadu Buhari Campaign spokesman announced the boycott of the amiable General from the PDP sponsored NEDG Presidential Debate, ChannelsTV in partnership with ARISETV and Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria announced their proposed Presidential debate between the Amiable General Muhammadu Buhari and His Excellency President Ebelemi Jonathan. Fans and supporters of the General including yours faithfully jubilated and really looked forward to the clash of the political titans. We were happy because unlike the NEDG composition where all the members have ties with the PDP and the Presidency, that of the ChannelsTV/NPAN/AriseTV carries a toga of fairness and neutrality. It came as a shock when I read the news of withdrawal by the APC strategist Mr. Dele Alake

Channels Television owned by Chief John Momoh is one of the only few unbiased broadcast station. John Momoh has dinstinguished himself as a professional Journalist right from his days in Radio Nigeria and Nigeria Television Authority. He has never held any appointment for any party neither is he known to fraternise with any political party. If any Television Station enjoy respect from among their pairs for their stand on neutrality, that station is Channels TV.

AriseTV is an international broadcast station with broadcast houses in London, Lagos, New York and Johannesburg. I am yet to see their frolicking with any Nigeria politician or government official. They are unbiased in their reportage.

NPAN is an association of all the print media owners. In other words, both the neutral, biased, political and non-political are members of this Association.

Considering the composition of the debate coordinators, one cannot help but agree that the unbias of the organisers is not in doubt. The APC should allow the amiable General to go head to head with the President, and allow Nigerians the chance to assess both candidates. Personally, I believe in the ability and administrative skills of the amiable General, I also believe in him to take on the President and floor him in the debate. This will not be the first time that the General will partiicipate in a political debate, he debated in 2007 and 2011 and was very impressive. His accent is not a problem to me as long as he passes the right message. APC should allow the General participate and stop making it look like the General is afraid of debate. The excuse of Dele Alake is unacceptable and illogical. I hope that the party will reconsider their position.

God bless the General
God Bless Nigerians

My friend shut it and stop talking trash, this is one issue you have nothing to say unlike your usual epistle you feed your gullible followers with,please don't expose yourself any further with your grammar thinking you making sense.

Look at the excuse you guys keep giving, what has PDP to do with this, if your candidate was a fashola or Osinbajo won't you be clamoring for debate? This is one opportunity GMB has to clear all the allegations certificate, health etc and here you are giving dumb reasons as to why he should abscond and you still trying to make excuse because you think you are intelligent or majority of nairalanders are fools right.

Nigerians decide who leads them, those are the people Buhari should debate for, even if the debate is organized by NTA or even FFK himself, the event will be aired live and nigerians are watching should there be any biased on part of the interviewers, so what exactly is your point and of APC?

I kept saying APC is bring far incompetent candidate you guys never listened, your greed for 12 million vote got you this and you making silly excuse.

nonsense

Obiagelli:

That is quite plausible, i believe every decision taken is in the interest of the party and its candidate. Let's see as events unfold.

Gbawe:



This is the bottom line and I hope APC supporters use their head and not get drawn into the 'gutter' with those who are now forced to live there because of their backing for the ultra-failed PDP all good Nigerians want kicked out.

It will eventually be clear to everyone why the APC strategists are not favorably disposed to such arrangement....

I[b]f debate is what makes a President...GEJ would not be President today.[/b]

Muhammadu Buhari has nothing to hide nor does he fear anyone. He debated against Yaradua(PDP), Atiku(ACN) and Pat Utomi in 2007. He also debated against Shekarau (ANPP) and Ribadu (ACN) in 2011. He isn't a newbie in Presidential debates.

Gbawe:


I did not even read your drivel so I have no comment to give on it. OP gave you the power and the 'floor' for the crap above but I will not read it let alone respond to whatever it is you wrote.

crap

Collynzo419:


I totally understand.

I just got a bit emotional when i read the part where he said that Alake's remarks were- totally illogical and unacceptable. What a joke

Forward ever- Campaign train currently in Adamawa

Create something from nothing[edit]
(無中生有／无中生有, Wú zhōng shēng yǒu)
A plain lie. Make somebody believe there was something when there is in fact nothing. One method of using this strategy is to create an illusion of something's existence, while it does not exist. Another method is to create an illusion that something does not exist, while it does.

ilugunboy:


Get your PVC.....let's meet on Val's day.

brownlord:


sorry i won't leave my house, maybe 2019.

We got no candidate till 2019

omenka:
Liar. No amount of debates and sterling performance by thee General is gonna make you like him. The comments in your TL are there for everyone to see. Plus you are an irritating bigot.

philips70:


I have been echoing on Twitter since the news was aired. Anybody advising GMB to avoid the debates is an enemy of GMB and Nigeria. Is it not the same GMB who addressed OPS this morning? I believe GMB can stand any debate even if anchored and moderated by Okupe and FFK. I hope they know what they are doing even as we know the real issues in Nigeria today is not really about the debates.

successking:


If GEJ wins in both the debate and election, what will you do?

Remember, Nigerians are aware that freedom is preferable to slavery!

Imanuelle:


He used to, but now he's old and weak.

BTW, its okay to be and stay amazed.

Giving an address where you read off a script prepared by someone is not the same as debating issues
In debates you actually have to think and also answer questions and provide rebuttals to your opponent's opinion
I bet Buhari even has no clue what a rebuttal means.

ilugunboy:


You are inconsequential to the process.....just like many of you sitting on NL all day writing nonsense while your PVC gathers dust at the collection center.

obayaya:


Guy!!!!

I no dey understand your yarns sef

makazona:
APC supporters were all in support of the party's decision until Barcanista differed.now they are all sneaking out and taking a reverse on the matter.

it shows how the bandwagon effect is binding all em GMB supporters.

btw Barcanista hs got my respect for calling a spade by its name(at least for once)
