APC says its presidential candidate
Gen Buhari will not be participating in the presidential debate being organized
by the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria BON and the Nigeria Election Debate
Group (NEDG).
In a statement released today January 29th 2015 by Garna Shehu, the Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), they said Buhari will not be participating in the debate as the composition of those organizing the debate was mainly of agencies and allies of the incumbent People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) administration.

“A cursory inspection of the composition of NEGD brings into
focus the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON), National Television
Authority (NTA), Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) and the Africa
Independent Television (AIT, owned by a PDP chieftain). And going by the
avalanche of inflammatory statements, misinformation and blatant lies being
propagated by some of these media against our Party and candidates contrary to
the Kofi Annan brokered Abuja Peace Accord, and the failure of these aggressors
to desist and apologise, have left the APC Campaign with no option than to
steer clear of any premeditated smear campaign that could be inimical to our
prospective electoral success,”.
