Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that he is willing to participate in debates all day long.

“I am ready to debate with you from morning till night… and I’m speaking in London, not in Jigawa. It is great that you are alive to tell the story just giving the assurance never to give up… Broadband creation, energy that you talked about.. if they’ve taken our advice.. in the beginning of democracy in 1999, we brought in investment. My Deputy then is here.. and then so many other innovative things….,” he said.
In response to a query about why he avoided arguments from the crowd at Chatham House in London on Monday, Tinubu stated, “I consider myself as a marketable individual. I’m saying no to your attempt to utilise me as a means of gain.
Recall how his absence from the ARISE Townhall on Sunday caused controversy, with his detractors speculating that Tinubu may not have been able to handle the pressure.
Since he has nothing to say to Nigerians, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the main opposition, has charged him of avoiding debates.
