A group, National Coordinator of Wind of Hope, has urged a debate between President Goodluck Jonathan and the All Progressives Congress in the March 28 election, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), at Chatam House in United Kingdom saying it would deepen democracy.
The group threw the challenge in an open letter to Buhari by its National Coordinator, Mr. Onoriode Akpeh, and obtained by journalists on Saturday in Abuja.
The organisation said it would “fully sponsor” such a forum, adding “all we ask is that you state your preferred date and time.
“In our quest to deepen democracy which thrives on robust and constructive deliberations that aids the electorate in making informed decisions, Wind of Hope hereby challenges (or offers Your Excellency a platform) to a debate with the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan before the forthcoming elections at Chatham House where you were so obviously at ease before your ‘supporters’ and the international media,” it said.

Why do they need to travel all the way to UK to debate. The organisers can come here to organise the debate, hoping in that case that APC will attend.
ReplyDeleteI plead, please you people shouldn't disgrace Mr Jonathan further, where ll he even get the composure to stand or sit where Gen. Mohamad Buhari is, you people have confused him enough. Let Mr Jonathan be please.
