Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), will not be featuring in the presidential debate
organised by the Broadcast Organisation of Nigeria (BON), The Cable reports
According Garba Shehu, directorate of media and publicity of
the APC presidential campaign organisation, the boycott is due to the “unhidden
bias and campaign of calumny by some key organisers of the programme, against
the corporate political interest of the party (APC) and its candidates”.
Shehu argued that the Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG)
powered debate was fraught with fundamental errors from the outset, by wearing
the toga of government control, especially being composed mainly of agencies
and allies of the incumbent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration.
