The APC is ever ready for debate (not one NTA debate). Goodluck Jonathan set precedence when he avoided the same debate in 2011 only for him to square up against the koko master "dbanj". Afterwards, he decided to stage his own against himself. What we are seeing is a repeat of 2011 but in another dimension
