Front runner presidential candidates
in the 2023 general elections; Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu (All Progressives
Congress); Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
(Peoples Democratic Party; Peter Obi
(Labour Party) and Rabi’u Musa
Kwankwaso (New Nigeria Peoples
Party) are expected to speak at a
debate today (Sunday).



The debate is organised by pro-
democracy group, the Centre for
Democracy and Development, CDD) in
collaboration with Arise Television.


According to the group, the leading
presidential candidates are expected to
speak on their plans for the country.


In a statement issued on Sunday, The
Director of the CDD, Idayat Hassan,
said the first of these sessions would
take place today, November 6 and
would air on Arise TV and on its
YouTube and social media channels.



She said the CDD, ahead of the 2023
elections, identified the need to ensure
citizens hear from the presidential
candidates.


“This follows CDD’s constant campaign
to ensure that the parties and
candidates conduct issue-based
campaigns. Nigerians need to hear
how their future leaders plan to
address the rising level of insecurity,
considerable economic challenges and
the impact of foreign affairs in
domestic considerations.


“This has informed our engagements
around the elections, from providing
fact-checking support and working
with partners to provide analyses on
the election security terrain,” Hassan
stated.


She said the process for selecting the
candidates were not without reasoning
or a set methodology.


Hassan said, “To ensure ample time
devoted to hearing each of the
candidates, we ran a survey on Twitter
from October 4 to 10, asking citizens to
vote on which four parties they
wanted to hear from.




“All 18 political parties were listed in
alphabetical order. After the survey
was closed, nine parties did not receive
a vote.



“The remaining nine received the
following percentage of votes- African
Action Congress – 20.7 per cent, APC –
86.2 per cent, All Progressives Grand
Alliance – 6.9 per cent, LP – 96.6 per
cent, NNPP – 51.7 per cent, PDP– 82.8
per cent , Peoples Redemption Party –
6.9 per cent, Social Democratic Party –
6.9 per cent and Young Progressive
Party – 13.8 per cent.




“The result of this survey informed
our decision to invite the highest four
scoring parties – LP, APC, PDP and
NNPP to the town hall.
“The CDD is an independent and
neutral institution and is non-partisan
or linked to any political party or
candidate. The methodology stated
above was set before the survey was
sent out to avoid any insinuation or
claims of bias.




“We do not expect this to be the sole
platform for candidates to engage with
the electorate.”

We all know that the Emilokan ancestor who deserves rest in a retirement home will not be there.
The other grand daddy too is unlikely to make it there because he has no concrete plans to make Nigeria better.
Only Peter Obi is prepared and ready for this debate.
The red-cap thief is at best, an unserious pretender who will not be anywhere near the debate venue.

OP as long as this your repetitive story I am finding it difficult to find the Timothy debate will start.

Maybe the time is stated there somewhere but bear with me as I am not with my glasses

okay ooo

here we go....
