A Nigerian Presidential aspirant of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Kingsley Moghalu has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to a public debate ahead of the 2019 general election.
The Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), also said that it is a fraud for the President and All Progressives Congress (APC) to ask the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo to represent Buhari at any debate.
In a video interview posted online, Kingsley Moghalu said:
"I am challenging President Muhamamdu Buhari to a debate, and when I say President Buhari, I mean the president and not vice president. Osinbajo should debate with vice presidential candidates.
"President Buhari should not continue to hide from the Nigerian public, it has become the track-record of his governance that he is not been able to face Nigerians and explain to them his governance and its policies.
"We only hear President Buhari talking to Nigerians from London or China, or from Germany. It is one clear demonstration of leadership failure. When a leader cannot communicate to his citizens, is no longer acceptable.
"I heard that the APC has appointed vice president Osinabjo to represent the president in upcoming debates, this is a political fraud, and Nigerians should not accept it."
