TheLagostimes recalls that President Buhari was absent at the presidential debate held yesterday in Abuja.

The Spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress, Festus Keyamo, in a statement on saturday night had disclosed that Buhari could not attend the debate because the event clashed with his other major activities.

“Firstly, out of several opportunities afforded our candidate to interact with the Nigerian people directly by different organizations, our presidential candidate has taken full advantage of another town-hall meeting organized by another group which held on Wednesday, January 16, 2019.

“He was also joined at that town-hall meeting by our Vice-Presidential candidate who is also the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

“Nigerians from all walks of life who were physically present and through online platforms asked uncensored questions which were adequately answered. It was also transmitted live by various broadcast networks in Nigeria.

“In addition, the busy and hectic official and campaign schedules of Mr. President clashed with this programme. Today, Mr. President commissioned the Baro Inland Water Port in Niger State and campaigned in Niger and Plateau States where his time was over-stretched by the tumultuous and mammoth crowds in both States, (as seen by Nigerians on live television) and only returned to Abuja late this evening”, the statement read.
