Buhari Replies Atiku, ‘You Are Not Contesting To Be President Of Federal Republic Of Buhari’

President Muhammadu Buhari has faulted the decision of his main challenger in Nigeria’s February election, Atiku Abubakar, that his not debating is not enough reason why Atiku should not.

Atiku, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had arrived the venue only to learn Buhari was not in the hall and left.

“With respect to my fellow candidates, Fela Durotoye, Oby Ezekwesili, Kingsley Moghalu & to moderator Mark Sugar & with apologies to Nigerians here & at home expecting an interesting debate, I regret I will not be able to go on with this debate due to President Buhari’s absence”, Atiku tweeted.

Buhari through his personal assistant on new media, Bashir Ahmad, tweeted; “Because of President Buhari’s absence, haba H.E sir, is the debate only meant for questioning President Bubari? Thought it is for you to tell Nigerians what you have to offer, or are you contesting to be the President of the Federal Republic of Buhari?”
