The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki has said that the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar is ready to debate with the President Muhammadu Buhari, anytime he is ready.

Saraki, the Director-General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, who accompanied Atiku to the Transport Hilton Hotel, venue of the debate said, “we have always made it clear to the organizers that our candidate is ready to debate with the President.

“When we were told in Washington DC that the debate will take place, we thought the President will be here. Our candidate is ready to debate with the President anytime he is ready.”

Atiku, who emphasised why he has to leave the venue of the debate said, “I am walking out because I expected to come and defend with Mr. President.

“The President has been in office for the past three and half years. He is not here to defend that record, So who am I going to debate with. If he is on his way, when he comes, I will come back.

“In any case, I will have an opportunity to address Nigerians because there are other interviews in the plan. I came back from the US to participate in this debate but the President is not here”
