Ayodele Fayose, former Ekiti
State Governor, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling All
Progressive Congress (APC) to ensure he attends the presidential debate slated
for tomorrow.
Fayose, factional head of the
South West campaign organisation of Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), made the call on Friday.
Messrs Buhari and Abubakar are
major contestants in the presidential election scheduled for February 16. They
are expected to participate in the debate.
Also, there are insinuations in
some quarters that the president who seeks a second term in office will dodge
the debate. The media have not been able to confirm if President Buhari would
debate his challengers personally or through proxy.
Weighing-in on the matter, Fayose
wrote on Twitter: “They challenged @atiku to travel to US, he is there now. We
are challenging President Buhari to come and debate tomorrow, no excuse!”
Recall that Atiku yesterday
travelled to the United States for business and political engagements.
Since he left office, Atiku has
been unable to visit the country, this the All Progressive Congress (APC)
maintained was because of corruption allegations involving him at the U.S.
Atiku’s visit has rattled the
APC-led adminstration, forcing it to dug out a fresh corruption allegation
against the former number two citizen.
The government said the former
vice president has issues to clarify on his role on the collapse of Bank PHB.
