The candidates of the All Progressive Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chose to absent themselves from the debate.

Can we abandon Atiku and Buhari and choose a President among Kingsley Moghalu, Oby Ezekwesili, Fela Durotoye?
Can we focus on people who respected us enough to come to this Debate?”
@Uncle_Deji, “In a sane society, Kingsley Moghalu would win this election! None of the other candidates stand a chance against his intellect and approach, but na naija we dey. Would still vote for him if I could, conscience would not let me rest! Enough of that wasting your votes bullshit!”
