Presidential Debate: Why Buhari Will Not participate 1 by Brodalagbaja: 10:32am On Jan 04, 2019
Presidential candidates all over the world are always excited whenever it comes to a time when they will have an opportunity to interact with their citizens because such gives them an opportunity to reel out their achievements and also showcase the facts as it were.

However, in Nigeria the supposed giant of Africa. We have a situation where the incumbent is not prepared to present himself for what in other places is given.

The presidency recently responded to requests by well meaning Nigerians who wanted to know if their president will participate in this year's debate by saying the president is yet to take a decision on that.

Ordinarily you would wonder what the fuss is about an "ordinary" debate and why it seems that the Vice President is always ready to interact with citizens and the President is always shying away from such.

Why would Buhari not want to debate?

1. Pride

A lot of people would not really be surprised to hear this because it is a well known fact that the Man is a very proud man and he shows it that he owes no one any apologies for that. Those close to the president have mentioned this character of his as one of the many reasons why he was removed as a military head back then. If the Man was proud as a youth imagine the level of pride now at this old age and also now that he has achieved his life long dream.

2. Hates criticism

If you are a student of history and if you have followed the antics of the Nigerian leader, then you will know how much this President in particular hates criticism. Infact he loathes criticism. He feels he is always right. You do not want to fall out with PMB. Many are surprised why his ministers have not been changed. I laugh. They know how to relate with him of course. Never ever criticize any of his policies or statements and you are good. Coming on live television with intelligent candidates like Atiku, Ezekwesili and Moghalu could result in a side of Buhari you will not to see lol.

3. He enjoys being in control

I will not over emphasize on this because it is more like an offshoot of 2 above.
Have you noticed how those very close to the president are his Daura peeps? How he prefers talking outside the country to a "controlled press"?

This is just the beginning.

That is Because The Lifeless one has not fulfilled even 1 of his numerous campaign promises he made in 2015.
He is not even in charge of his government therefore he must be sent back to DAURA.

Let's agree they have achievements to showcase. Citizens would love to see their president tell them about his next four years. Let him tell us why we should vote for him by himself. Abi is Festus keyamo the Apc presidential candidate?

We know he will not attend. The thread is to let people especially Nigerians know why their president cannot debate.
