Buhari to hold town hall meetings instead of debate

The APC Campaign Organizing Committee has adopted the ancient Greek's system of interacting with the people by organizing town hall meetings in major cities so as to fill in the vacuum left as the result of the party's decision to stay out any organized Presidential debate. The APCPCO has made it known that the town hall meeting will be moved from city to city where General Muhammadu Buhari and his rnning mate Prof. Yemi Osinbajo will be able to interact with the Organized Private Sector. The Presidential candidate and his running mate will answer questions posed to them by the people and also explain what they have in stock for the country and how they will go about achieving them if they were eventually elected into office in the coming election.

In a statement signed by the party's Director of Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba said the party was compelled to resolve to this means because of the need to have a person -to- person interactive session with the people during which germane questions will be asked and answers will be provided by the candidates. " Our campaign decided to chart this path because we cannot afford to shy away from the more pressing urgency to have a one-on-one interactions with Nigerians through town hall meetings" Shehu said.  

The meeting is scheduled to hold on Tuesday, today in Kano with traders and market associations, thereafter, the meeting will hold in Benin with Labour and civil society leaders. Ibadan will be the next stop as Buhari will be engaged by Students and Youth groups. Enugu and Port Harcourt will follow suit.
