We Challenge President Buhari t a Live One-on-One Debate with Atiku - PDP

The People's Democratic Party PDP has challenged President Buhari to a one-on-obe debate with its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

"Ahead of the 2019 presidential election, we challenge President Buhari to a live, one-on-one debate with our Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar on critical sectors of our national life."


"We are however pained that President Buhari has neglected our troops fighting in the North East and reneging on his promise to “lead the fight from the front”. This has resulted in the vulnerability and killing of our soldiers by insurgents."

"Nigerians are aware that President Buhari is mortally afraid of facing our candidate, Atiku Abubakar , in a general debate organized by independent bodies. For this, we therefore ask him to choose a venue, date and time convenient to him to face our candidate before a neutral panel."

"President Buhari must face Atiku Abubakar in person, as Nigerians are not ready to accept any representation, whosoever, from him. If, as a Commander-In-Chief, Mr President cannot face a political debate, how then can he vigorously engage international competitors?"
