All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said he’s not afraid of engaging in intellectual exchanges on how he intends to govern the country if he’s elected president. <\/p>\n
Tinubu has come under heavy criticism for boycotting interactive sessions attended by other presidential candidates.<\/p>\n
His opponents doubled down on their criticism following his absence at ARISE Townhall on Sunday with his critics saying Tinubu might have boycotted the event because he could not withstand the rigor of such occasion. <\/p>\n
The main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had accused him of avoiding debates because he has nothing to tell Nigerians.<\/p>\n
But addressing some young Nigerians in London, Tinubu said debate was not an issue, adding that he is ready to debate from morning till night.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am ready to debate with you from morning till night\u2026 and I\u2019m 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\u2026 Broadband creation, energy that you talked about.. if they\u2019ve 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\u2026.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Fielding a question from the audience at Chatham House in London on Monday, on why he snubbed debates, Tinubu said, \u201cI see myself as a marketable individual. You want to use me to make money and I\u2019m saying no.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
