All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says he’s ready to engage in debates from morning till night.
The APC presidential flagbearear has been heavily criticised for staying away from debate/interactive sessions attended by other presidential candidates.
His absence at ARISE Townhall on Sunday had created a stir as his critics said Tinubu might have stayed away because he could not withstand the rigour.
The main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party had accused him of avoiding debates because he has nothing to tell Nigerians.
But Tinubu, while addressing some young Nigerians in London, said debate was not an issue.
“I am ready to debate with you from morning till night… and I’m speaking in London, not in Jigawa. It is great that you are alive to tell the story just giving the assurance never to give up… Broadband creation, energy that you talked about.. if they’ve taken our advice.. in the beginning of democracy in 1999, we brought in investment. My Deputy then is here.. and then so many other innovative things….,” he said.
Fielding questions from the audience at Chatham House in London on Monday, on why he snubbed debates, Tinubu said, “I see myself as a marketable individual. You want to use me to make money and I’m saying no.”
