Shehu Sani, the Senator representing Kaduna Central has reacted to the absence of presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar from 2019 presidential debate.
The presidential debate organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG) and the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) had President Buhari, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku, counterpart conspicuously absent.
While Atiku had in a statement explained his reasons for boycotting the debate, the APC candidate, Buhari was yet to make any official comment on the reason behind his absence.
Candidates present are; Fela Durotoye of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Oby Ezekwesili of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) and Kingsley Moghalu of the Young Progressives Party (YPP)
Reacting, Sani took to his Twitter page to condemn the absence of Buhari and Atiku.
He described the development as ‘unfortunate and ironic’
Sani wrote: “It’s unfortunate and ironic that candidates, who flaunt crowds of supporters in hundreds of thousands in open stadiums, have fear of a microphone and a few people in a Hall.”
