ATIKU WAS RIGHT TO WALK OUT FROM THE DEBATE ?
FOR
Atiku Abubakar left the United States in time to make sure he was back in Nigeria to participate in the Presidential debate. As you can see in the photos, he had already been prepped up and was ready to join all candidates on stage. Then the cork and bull story came in from the Presidency that President Buhari was stuck in Jos after a stampede at the rally ground where he had to be smuggled out. What an excuse!!! Smuggled to where? What is the distance between Jos and Abuja? Was he stranded at the airport or coming by road?
Many of us knew he was going to look for a reason to dodge this debate. Whatever drama that happened in Jos today was orchestrated and nobody can tell me otherwise.
Against
So because Buhari could not attend Atiku refused to attend. Foolish!!! To say that he was right to do a, pitiable!!! For Atiku to have assumed that the contest was between he and Buhari and that the over 200million Nigerians to whom he had to prove him…
Chi Nwanyi Doz I disagree Joi John. This was Atiku’s chance to show what he has to offer. If he had any respect for Nigerians he hopes to rule if he wins, he should have stayed and then let the joke be on Buhari. Leaving because Buhari did not show up is a slap on the faces of those rooting for him. Now his votes will be divided. I have my PVC o and God help me, i shall be in town to vote.

Muktar Shinkafi I understand Mr President was to leave the venue in Jos by 4pm for Abuja to pray and head for the debate but unfortunately the crowd in Jos made it impossible and only managed to come our few minutes after 6pm.

Humphrey Hu Hahahahah. I wonder why anybody is surprised. How do you expect Atiku to stand and debate Obyezeks in the absence of the distraction that Buhari will present.
He failed. It shower he doesn’t have a message to give. That was the platform to send his message not going on a packaged trip to America.

Chris-lance Osondu-Onyemechara Joi, in 2015 you supported GEJ and he lost. Less than two years later you pitched your tent (naturally anyways) with Madam Clinton and she was defeated too. I was worried if you were going to support PMB’s reelection and fortunately you pitched your tent with Atikulooter. What will happen in three weeks time would likely be predicated on your past supports to GEJ and Clinton. Thanks for not supporting PMB.

Gold Wakama What Atiku did was extremely disrespectful to all Nigerians, to the organisers and to the other candidates that graced the occasion. How do 2 wrongs make a right. Are you saying the debate should have been cancelled cos Mr Clueless dodged the occasion? This is just brazen disrespect by both of them.Imhenrion Osamhanhu Marcellinus replied

Odenigbo Chidi Anyaeche This is a two horse race, PMB and Atiku. Without PMB there, the debate is an exercise in futility. Atiku was in order.

Joi John Chris-lance Osondu-Onyemechara: Since you have chosen to be mischievous, I won’t entertain you being silly here. You of all people know the part I played in 2014/2015 leading up to the elections. I am disgusted that you would scribble this rubbish. This is very childish. Any man who speaks from two sides of his mouth must watched. Shame on you!!!Frank Iyke Cee J replied

Mohammed Kabir Ibrahim “Cock and bull story….” Perfectly captured, Joi John. I can’t help laughing. Still, that shouldn’t be an excuse for Atiku to walk away from the debate. The guy just “tactically maneuvered. ???

Evans Opara like seriously, some people are expecting atiku to debate with people who won’t win a single polling unit. The fight is between Atiku and outgoing Buhari and he will direct every of his disappointment and questions to buhari not those completing the number.

Rm Olumakin Remember GEJ, in 2011 refused to attend all the debate that was scheduled, Huhuru Kenyatta of Kenya also refused to attend debate in his Country, but he won the election. The notion of debate is good, but election is not only won by debate only, but what is practically available for the electorate to see and feel.

Evang Michael C. Ibemesi Nigerians were waiting for all especially the incumbent to come and defend his policies and state why he needs the hot seat for another 4 years but he disrespected Nigerians and dodged . This is the truth for there is no justification for the next President- AA to debate in the absence of the incumbent he wants to unseat. This is the truth.

Evang Michael C. Ibemesi We saw all these during the US presidential and other elections starting from the primaries up to the main coco; there were debates . So who wants to dodge?
