NIGERIANS SUPPORT BUHARI’S DECISION TO BOYCOTT DEBATE




I read a whole lot of comments yesterday regarding the Major General Muhammadu Buhari boycott of the Presidential debate organised by the Nigeria Election Debate Group, NEDG by Mr Doyin Okupe and some other GEJ supporters. Today, so many people supported the decision of Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to boycott the debate.
The Buhari Campaign Organisation had on Thursday announced that Buhari would boycott the debate, citing the lack of integrity of members of the group. It also said Buhari would agree to participate in any debate organised by a body seen to be neutral and that would not end up being biased.

Biodun Sowunmi, a rights campaigner, said he supported Buhari’s stand on the debate. He said apart from the influence of the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA, as well as the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, on such issues, the alleged “campaign of calumny embarked upon by the Africa Independent Television, AIT, against the person of Buhari” is enough for him to boycott the debate.

He said this in a statement issued on Saturday by his media adviser, Paul Ibe. It should be recalled that the All Progressives Congress, in its defence at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal had insinuated that Atiku is not a Nigerian but from Cameroon. In reaction, Atiku said he would not dignify APC with a response, adding that his lawyers will do the needful in court. He said,   “The position of the APC is so pedestrian and shows such straw-clutching desperation on their part, that I shall not dignify it with an answer. Our lawyers would, of course, do the needful in court. “But the point I want to draw the attention of Nigerians to is that both the APC and its candidate have by this infantile logic admitted to the fact that they trampled on the will of Nigerians and that their only de...
