#2019Debate: Atiku flew 12 hours non stop from the U.S, only for Buhari to be absent – Omokri

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has apologized for the inability of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to participate in the 2019 presidential candidates debate alongside others.

According to Omokri, a staunch supporter of Atiku, and the PDP, there’s no way Atiku could have gone ahead go debate when the president, Muhammadu Buhari, was himself absent.

He noted that Atiku, who was in the United States, flew 12 hours non stop, proceeded only to clean up and change clothes and headed to the venue of the debate – only to find out that Buhari was not there.

He shared a video of Atiku live at the venue via his Twitter handle, and apologized on behalf of  the presidential candidate for not debating.

Take a look

WATCH and SHARE this video. Atiku was at the venue of #2019Debate LIVE. He waited in vain for Buhari to show up. He flew 12 hours non stop and only had time to shower and change his clothes. I apologise that he did not debate. But how can he debate in the absence of Buhari?
