A group, National Coordinator of Wind of Hope, has urged a debate between President Goodluck Jonathan and the All Progressives
Congress in the March 28 election, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd), at Chatam House in United Kingdom saying it would deepen
democracy.
The group threw the challenge in an open letter to Buhari by its
National Coordinator, Mr. Onoriode Akpeh, and obtained by journalists on
Saturday in Abuja.
The organisation said it would “fully sponsor” such a forum, adding “all we ask is that you state your preferred date and time.
“In our quest to deepen democracy which thrives on robust and
constructive deliberations that aids the electorate in making informed
decisions, Wind of Hope hereby challenges (or offers Your Excellency a
platform) to a debate with the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan
before the forthcoming elections at Chatham House where you were so
obviously at ease before your ‘supporters’ and the international media,”
it said.
