Edo APC, on Wednesday in an online statement by the Chairman of its Media Campaign Council, Prince John Mayaki, stated that the Nigeria Elections Debate Group was forced to call off its scheduled debate between contenders in the Edo governorship race, after Obaseki announced a sudden pull-out from the debate, citing unpreparedness.
APC, however, said: “The debate, previously scheduled for September 2, with the candidate of the APC, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, among the first to confirm his attendance, will no longer hold.“It was the first of debates meant to showcase the contenders, particularly candidates of the two major parties, before the electorate to speak directly about their manifesto and answer difficult questions on their intentions and the viability of their plans for office.
“Incumbents who performed in office seize any opportunity to showcase their achievements to the people, especially in national debates meant to deepen the democratic culture and offer the electorate a front-row seat at an event where those seeking their votes are made to answer difficult questions on why they are deserving of the office they seek.
“The sad truth is that Obaseki is never prepared for anything, including governance. To debate, he needs his thousands of aides, most of whom he hired at the dawn of his forgettable tenure, to help him perfect a script of lies and untruths.
