The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has decried the refusal of some of his counterparts in the February 25 election to debate on the “myriad issues” plaguing the nation.
Kachikwu registered his displeasure in a statement on Wednesday where he expressed happiness over his return to work after two weeks of isolation due to an infection with coronavirus.
“It is a tragedy that a month to the Presidential Elections, the myriad issues that plague our nation have not been debated by the Presidential Candidates. How do we fix our economy other than just saying from consumption to production? Produce what, where and when?
“We can’t continue to deceive our youths and generality of Nigerians with cliches and nice sounding phrases. How do we solve our energy crisis? Is it okay for Nigerians to perennially queue for fuel or live in darkness in the year 2023?
“What of unemployment, housing, infrastructural deficit, security and our nationhood? When do we discuss and debate these in detail so the Nigerian people know what is at stake in this election? Our nation is in serious trouble,” the ADC presidential candidate said
