In a statement she personally signed, the former Minister of Education, said the debate by proxy should not be accepted by Nigerians. She stressed that those who shy away from presenting themselves before Nigerians don’t deserve to take the position of leadership.
Stating that nothing less than 20 hours of debate was acceptable to a country of approximately 200 million people, Ezekwesili stressed that the debate should be split in five sessions of four hours each, or four sessions of five hours each. According to the Presidential candidate, the first debate should be held within a week of when campaign officially starts.
