Before Obi can debate with Asiwaju he should bring his manifesto, Democratic credentials for scrutiny – Keyamo lists conditions Peter Obi must fulfil before debate with Tinubu’s aide

Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo has listed conditions that must be met before a representative of its presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu would debate with labour party presidential candidate, Peter Obi

The former Lagos stater Governor has been absent from debates and presidential town hall meetings that have been organized by different bodies

Speaking on Tuesday, November 29, Keyamo said Obi cannot debate with Bola Tinubu but it would rather send one of Tinubu’s media aides to have a debate with Obi.

He said; ”They have no manifesto, so what are we debating? What documents are we comparing? He said Nigerians should depend on what is inside his brain, not on any document. So, Asiwaju will then be debating with what? Is this campaign a joke to them? Do they think this is a Debating and Dramatic society in school?

“Before Obi can stand shoulder to shoulder with Asiwaju to debate, he should first release a manifesto for scrutiny; then he should list his tangible achievements as Governor of Anambra State compared to the tangible achievements of Asiwaju as Governor of Lagos State.

“Then he should list those he has mentored in politics from the days of his being Governor who is still with him now; then he should tell us any political party he has either formed or partnered to form and which he still belongs to today. Then he should list his democratic credentials, that is what he did to contribute to the return to democracy from Military rule and what he has since done, better than Asiwaju, to sustain our democracy. After all these, we shall send them one of our spokespersons to debate with him”.
