Presidency Speaks On Whether Osinbajo Will Represent Buhari At Presidential Debate

Nigerian Presidency has reacted to speculation that President Muhammadu
Buhari would be represented by his deputy, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo,
in the debate slated for January 19 by the Nigeria Election Debate
Group.

Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media,
said his principal is yet to take a decision on whether he would take
part in the debate.

Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the
Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), had said
Vice President Osinbajo could represent President Buhari at the
presidential debate if that was what the Federal Government wanted.

According to him, the debate was not about eloquence but what the political parties had to offer the country if elected.

However,
with less than three weeks to the presidential debate, Adesina said
President Buhari was still contemplating whether or not to appear at the
debate.

He said Nigerians would be informed in due course when the president takes a decision on this.

“When
it gets to that decision, Nigerians will know what his decision is. We
will surely cross the bridge when we get there,” Adesina told Daily
Independent.
