Nigerian journalist and presidential aspirant of the African Action Congress (AAC), Mr. Omoyele Sowore has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and other presidential aspirants to a debate ahead of the 2019 polls.
Sowore, who is the owner of online media outfit, Sahara Reporters made the call on Wednesday when he appeared on a Channels Television programme, ‘Politics Today’.
He argued that presidential aspirants should be bold enough to participate in debates about policies and projects they intend to execute if elected.
“If want you to be more serious, you should be bringing these presidential candidates to debate us. Buhari should be brought out. The media should force them out of their hiding. Let them come and debate the future of Nigeria,” Sowore said.
He argued that contrary to claims, young people have come up with alternatives to the current leaders, adding that the viable alternatives would ‘kick out the old guards in 2019’.
