Dear Reuben Abati,

Happy Birthday to you. I wish you all the best in life. Even as you talked about clarity in your birthday post today, and how all you could see in this new year of yours is clarity on all fronts, I have chosen to write this to you, not for anything, but for the sake of clarity.

This is about the presidential debate you hosted yesterday.

You allowed a vice presidential candidate to join a debate you tagged as a "Presidential Town Hall." How does that even make sense that a vice, who has a constitutional role that is far different from that of the President, be ever allowed to debate with presidential candidates?

You are the organizer of the program. You and your team invited the presidential candidates. You and your team invited or made open the participants/audience. Then, something was not going your way from the audience you invited, and instead of dealing with it, you turn around and blame a presidential candidate who obviously may not even know the people you invited.

You allowed Dino, an official spokesman for the PDP campaign team to ask a question in a debate that is comprised of different political parties.

You saw that his question was directed at a particular candidate belonging to a party he considers a rival, yet you allowed it.

Do you think it was fair that you did not also extend the same privilege to the spokesmen and women of other parties to interrogate their rival candidates as well?

And there and then, one of the presidential candidates got provoked by one of your guests. The candidate spoke out because this your guest seemed to have been there to distract him. The candidate was angry. You saw the anger on his face. Everyone did. The point the candidate made was very justified. Yet, you allowed it to slide without requesting an apology from that guest or a word of caution or possibly asking the guest (Dino) to leave the premises.

Abati, on this, you totally got it all wrong.

You were obviously too biased and too partisan to anchor a debate of that nature.

Happy Birthday, Sir. For more clarity of purpose, I pray.

You are senseless. You don't suppose to chuck mouth on this because your Emilokan bastard ran away like a coward zombie

The Igbos are the most sentimental creations that ever graced this earth surface. Reuben and Rufai were used as yardstick to measure professionalism by these cretins few weeks ago. Just one unfavorable show that exposed their gap-toothed god, they are everywhere cursing and threatening Reuben Abati who anchored the show. You hate to hear the truth and you hate to love others. You even find it difficult to love yourselves. This is why every part of Igbo land has heap of dead bodies beneath it's soil.

You kill your parents and traditional rulers because they don't agree with you..

..but the moment they massage your ego a lil, you praise them to high heavens. I swear with all I ve gay that if the devil comes down to endorse Obi today, most Igbos would abandon their faith

Some countries have found their challenge in earthquakes, famine, terrorism and other natural disasters. Nigeria's only disaster is being a home to these hate-filled, intolerant and hypocritical sit-at-home miscreants

His Excellence, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has fulfilled all constitutional right to become the president, and does not in ANYWAY owe the electorate a debate or interview. It is at his own personal discretion that he will grant such.

So what's the fuss about? and why make it look like a crime!
