The producers of these shows have to prune down the number of candidates that can appear on their shows. There are quite a lot of candidates (around 70 candidates) and not all of them can appear.

Therefore, the producers of these shows set up online polls and got viewers to vote for the top 4 or 5 candidates that they would like to see.

Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Oby Ezekwesili, Kingsley Moghalu and Fela Durotoye were the top 5 for the debate (Sowore sued the debate organisers because they excluded him).


Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Omoyele Sowore, and Kingsley Moghalu were the top 4 for "The Candidates" (no Oby Ezekwesili or Fela Durotoye).

There were many other candidates that were excluded completely, e.g. Jerry Gana and Olawepo Hashim.

I think that the NTA's "Good Morning Nigeria" show is the only show that is featuring all the candidates. They have been featuring presidential candidates on their show since November (Donald Duke, Jerry Gana, Omoyele Sowore and Alistair Soyede are some of the candidates that have appeared on the show. I have never heard of some of the candidates that appeared on the show before they were featured).

Jaynom:

1. Not all 70 presidential candidates are running.
2. After Buhari and Atiku, SOWORE is the most popular candidate not Fela , not Oby. Yet he was sidelined. I smell conspiracy!

Why not tell the truth? Sowore was deliberately schemed out of the presidential debate by the organisers even his party was aming the top 3 in the poll conducted by the organisers in order to select participants. Their reasons were petty. I heard they allleged candidates were selected based on their character. Sowore took the organisers to court.

anonymous1759:
Nice publicity sowore, go for senate next time or house of Reps. Build your reputation Sensible Nigerians are seeing you.... We're tired of PMB, Atiku, OBJ etc...

CaptainGOOD:


In Nigeria u should not let ur destiny be in hands of ur oppressors in the first place.
Mine is not I'm their hands.

Sowore should learn how to talk.
There are better ways to do critics.
If u watched the debate u would see that other other candidates criticized the government in an educated way.
Sowore was doing his like a tout.
It's more of insulting ether than criticising

naptu2:


Wow! You had a spy amongst the organisers who told you that they were selected based on character and not by the polls! Wonderful!

ajl:


What reputation does he need to build? For someone who has been around for 30 yrs since age 18. Ypu should go update yourself instead.

ajl:


Thats exactly what Sowore himself said because i believe he has insiders. Also, John Momoh has personal beef wiith him. Momoh was initially included as one of the defendants in the court case. Though his name was eventually removed from the case, Momoh was insisting to be included and further filed a counter suit claiming N5 million from Sowore.

emerged01:

Lol!
Government has a very big role to play in the life of every citizen. Whether you like to hear it or not,as far as things listed below are bedeviling the growth of this nation,we have oppressors at the helms of affair of this nation. And as a matter of fact,no oppressor deserve respect;

No infrastructure,no power,no health care,no security,poor education and unemployment everywhere.

CaptainGOOD:


U are really delusional , tell ur sowore to learn how to guard his mouth, maybe he would have good votes next time

Jaynom:

Guard his mouth? SOWORE says nothing but facts! The TRUTH cannot be pampered!

CaptainGOOD:


He himself is not a saint
We have heard lots about him too.
So he should shut up

Jaynom:

You have HEARD . Where are the Facts? Where is the evidence? Where is the proof?

CaptainGOOD:


The facts are online.
Just as the facts Sowore has against others too.

CaptainGOOD:


Sowore is going it the wrong way.
He should watch the debate and learn how to talk.
Else he cant even win ward chairman.

asuustrike1:
Sowore is immature from what I have seen so far

I wish I could believe you..

Unfortunately, we all know how Nigeria works and a young upstart debating is the last thing the old brigade want to deal with.

We can only go on what the station says are the numbers. No one else can qualify the supposed online polls...

Sowore was excluded because he is an actual threat. He is articulate and genuinely wants to pursue some progressive ideas. For the likes of Buhari and Atiku, debating with him would be suicide..

That was the reason he was excluded...

naptu2:


I deal with verifiable facts, not rumours, emotions and hearsay.

1) You have not provided any evidence to show that Sowore won the polls. Just your sayso.

2) You have not provided any evidence to show that the candidates were selected based on character.

3) You have not provided any evidence to show that Sowore was excluded because John Momoh has beef with him (by the way, the debate is organised by BON, which has almost 70 members, and by NEDG. It is not the personal creation of John Momoh).

You are just throwing wild allegations and being emotional. Candidates will always be excluded (you can't have all 70 candidates on one stage. That will lead to chaos) and those that are excluded will naturally be upset, but you have not proven anything other than that you are upset because your candidate was excluded.

That's why I don't take you seriously.


Anyway, I don't have the time for a long exchange.

Jaynom:

Allegations and facts are two different things sir!

PromixTuhh:



And what have the "matured ones" and the ones that "know how to talk" brought upon Nigeria? We still don't have our priorities in order. And if you have any evidence disproving anything he's said, present it.

nograv:


Niether have you provided any proof beyond the station's unverified numbers and reasons..

Can you even provide a link to the supposed online polls??
