According to him, “There is no reason why president Buhari should shy away from the presidential debate looking at the period when the government came to power, there are so many projects and programs that were executed by this government, even the Nigerian citizens, will bear witness. Also there is no justification that will hinder president Buhari coming out for the debate, because the president has many things to tell Nigerians that will convince the electorate to re-elect this government back to power”.

Ahmad noted that Buhari had made tremendous achievements in areas that stood tall and above the 16 years records of the PDP administration, adding that there was no basis for comparism between Buhari and Atiku.

The group said that upcoming campaigns by the party would be issues based.
