Buhari simply chickened out.
Even a day or two before the debate, they already settled within the apc that he won't come. As one guy in his campaign train told a friend when asked if Buhari will be at the debate "una go wait tire".

But trust APC and hypocrisy, their media handlers have been sent out to turn the table against atiku for not debating as a means of distracting us from Buhari chickening out

Happy birthday sis. May you surpass your expectations.

Atiku is a parasite. He wanted to leech off buharis popularity and proved it with that silly excuse he gave. He said in essence that his glory is tied to Buhari and without buhari he cannot shine. This officially made him a Buhari Zombie (as it were).

Truth be told, presence of an enigma like buhari at that debate would have given undue relevance to the likes of Atiku which wasn't necessary especially since Buhari already knew the person of Atiku and the nature in him as someone who is petty and arrogantly foolish and this Buhari exploited well.

Obasanjo was right when he said Atiku has the propensity for making wrong choices and his choice of coming all the way for the debate just to say he will not be a part due to the absence of buhari despite already knowing buhari will not be attending shows his childish and truly arrogantly petty nature.

Atiku knows that the only way he can defeat buhari is only if he arranges for the assassination of buhari and the way its looking, he just may make this arrangement as a last resort.

Atiku as a man cannot stand next to buhari when it comes to popularity and acceptance by the masses. He cannot reach high enough. So sagay was right by calling him a political dwarf.

He had the chance to sell himself to Nigerians but was blindly focused on Buhari alone. Perhaps he already knew that Buhari has the masses.

Since Moghalu and Ezekwesili already knew that buhari would not be in attendance i am sure they must have been licking their lips anticipating shredding Atiku and Atiku knew this.

He Atiku wanted to shred buhari but when he realised he would now be the object for shredding he ran away faster than his legs could carry.

He is a failure

please, who is the idiot?

Yes in just 4 years Buhari has proven to be a great success. Much greater than the entire 16 years of the failed PDP who are now nothing but a party loaded with desperadoes and wolf criers.

Same failure called Atiku has emerged under a failed PDP which is double failure.

Buhari will coast to victory without a scratch come next month while Atiku will lose with enough deep cuts

If only Tinubu have been helping him like the president suggested when he handed over the presidential campaign to Tinubu.
But alas Tinubu knows that if the president should stress him self on these campaign Buhari just might be too waak to be president God forbid he kpeme and Osibanjo will now be president like it happened to Jonathan.
That's the only reason the Yorubas are supporting Buhari because they anticipate Buhari's demise after all Buhari is already stumbling from rally to rally how far can the president go with these rallies

Nigeria is the only country in the world where people are very comfortable turning the truth upside down and living a lie. Just tell me if we are at a better place than we were in 2015? We are a people that have been eternally condemned to making the same mistakes at all times. It befuddles me that people are actually clamouring that a man that is bereft of any ideas, is not in tune with the present realities of today who is probably suffering from dementia is even considered for a second term, despite that fact that we have more younger and capable hands.
We are just like a nation under some sort of spell. God save us all.

I have been silent about political discussions for close to a week now. I lost hope in it all for a reason I will write about tomorrow. I had wanted to shun political write-ups till after General elections. I was tempted to come back to it two days ago when Atiku's American visit trended. I struggled to remain silent. But when I read that PMB shunned the Presidential debate I was extremely happy and excited. It proves beyond doubt that PMB has really learnt a good lesson from his previous appearances in presidential debates. It will also increase the wailing factors of the PDP. They need to be paid back in their own coins.

Since return of democracy in 1999, the PDP has boycotted SIX presidential debates despite PMB and other aspirants honouring it. I wanted to sit back and laugh at PDP supporters wailing, lamenting bitterly and gnashing their teeth in 'sifia pains' over Buhari's absence because they desperately need his presence to dignify their candidate on the podium of discussion, just the way He needed their candidates in past debates and they ensured they deprived him of it. God bless those who advised Buhari to make the PDP have a taste of the bitterness of their own pill!

Buhari has participated in presidential debates for THREE consecutive election seasons.

[b]PDP has NEVER participated in any presidential elections before. [/b]Who is afraid of debates?

Buhari lost elections despite participating in debates THREE times. Debate doesn't determine voting outcome in Nigeria of today and that is why the PDP has NEVER participated in any and still won elections. That's why Buhari won when He stopped participating in it.

Buhari has used his participation in three debates to discover Nigerian electorates are not moved by debates, they are moved by Popularity of the candidates among them. Buhari has therefore worked on his popularity and again coasting home to victory next month.

Let the PDP also do debates for three political seasons to discover what moves Nigerian electorates. Unfortunately, they have lost it this year. They need the next 16 years to get opportunity for another three debates since they have failed to learn from Buhari's experience. In other words, PMB is 16 years ahead of them in the knowledge of the political reality of Nigeria today.

PDP candidate gave a rather ridiculous excuse for not participating. He said it is not 'Candidacy debate', it's 'Presidential debate' and therefore He won't debate without the President being there! Lol... He should be told the implied meaning of Presidential debate is 'Presidential Candidates debate'. What happens in situation where the incumbent is not contesting and all candidates are fresh? Does that change the name from Presidential debate to another thing? Lol...

In those three occasions where Buhari participated and the PDP failed to show up, the organisers never changed it to 'Candidacy debates' because they weren't grammatically disoriented! The PDP also failed to realise that Presidential debate is meant for candidates to sell their programmes to their audience and not to the incumbent president lol...

This is the first time in Nigeria's Political history that PDP could have participated in a presidential debate, yet they gave such a frivolous excuse that Buhari didn't come. What about those three occasions He came while you still absconded despite being in power?

Atiku needs the presidential debate far more than Buhari now. Buhari doesn't need it to win. Atiku needs it more except the PDP is afraid of Oby Ezekwezili that has been looking for a close avenue to strip them of the remnants of their past glory.

To Atikulooters who might want to say PMB is running away from debate, first tell us why your party has never honoured any debate in the past and only desperate to debate only PMB now. Look at the scorecard below:

Buhari in debate = 3/5
PDP in debate = 0/6

We then ask, Who is afraid of debates? #copied
