Nigeria's 2019 Presidential Debate.

2015 Presidential debate

In spite of my deep respect for this veteran columnist, I do hope he is wrong in his assertion that our dear President Buhari will not participate in the up-coming presidential debate with Atiku and the other candidates.
Mr. Atiku Abubakar (PDP candidate)

If seriously, Buhari doesn’t, then he will be vindicating critics (like my humble self) that believe all he wants to do as president is merely to uphold his image as a globetrotter. The man is especially so much in love with Europe that he is ever prepared to visit even the remotest part of the continent for the most mundane reason. And by the next presidential election, Buhari’s campaign tune would probably be “Ajala travels all over the world…” by Ebenezer Obey.
Mr. Mohammed Buhari (APC candidate)
It’s not fair and neither is it commonsensical for the president who cannot delegate any of the foreign trips to Osibanjo, his vice president, to suddenly now turn around to delegate the poor VP to represent him at presidential debates. That will be an admission of a very low self-esteem on the part of the president.
