‘Buhari Must Face Atiku In Person For One-On-One Debate, He Is Afraid’ – PDP

The PDP chided President Buhari accusing him of neglecting troops fighting in the North East and reneging on his promise to “lead the fight from the front”, which it said has resulted in the vulnerability and killing of soldiers by insurgents.

In a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said Nigerians are aware that President Buhari is “afraid of facing our candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in a general debate organized by independent bodies.

For this, the PDP grants him the liberty to choose a venue, date and time convenient to him to face our candidate before a neutral panel. “President Buhari must face Atiku 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?”
