Debate: Nothing wrong in Osinbajo representing Buhari - Sagay

- Ahead of 2019 presidential debate, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), said that vice president Yemi Osinbajo has the right to represent President Buhari

- According to Sagay, the debate is not about eloquence, but what the political parties have to offer the country, if elected

- The vice presidential debate would hold in Abuja on Friday, December 14, while the presidential debate would hold just over a month later on Saturday, January 19, 2019

Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), has on Wednesday, December 12, argued that Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria's vice president has the right to represent President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential debate which has been slated for January 19, 2019.

Daily Independent reported that Sagay said the debate is not about eloquence, but what the political parties have to offer the country, if elected.

“Why not? The vice president can represent the president if that is what the government wants. The debate is not a debate about eloquence of any particular person. It is a debate about what the various parties have to offer.

“So, if a spokesman of a party is nominated to appear on behalf of the party, why can’t the Vice President represent the president? The presidency is one.

“The debate is to express the plans, objectives and programmes of the parties for the country, if elected, and I don’t think it should be personalised. There is no reason why a representative of the party cannot participate in the debate if the party so wishes.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
