Pat Utomi Challenges Tinubu to Debate Ahead of 2027 Elections
Political economy professor Pat Utomi stated that President Bola Tinubu is being dishonest to Nigerians if he cannot engage in debates with major contenders ahead of the 2027 general elections. Utomi made these remarks during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Thursday.
He challenged Tinubu to visit every state capital and some rural areas to connect with the people if he genuinely cares about them. Utomi emphasized that engaging in policy discussions with opponents is essential for democracy, referencing South Korea's democratic recovery, which involved public debates.
He expressed disappointment over the current state of Nigerian democracy, highlighting the need for leaders to accept accountability rather than making excuses.
