Today, three of the four invited Presidential candidates were present at the debate. Chief Mrs Ebiti Onoyom Ndoki of the UNDP, Prof. Patric Okediachi Utomi of the SMDP and Dr John Omoniyi Dara of the NTP. Though all speaking out of an interest of passion for our beloved counrty, the athmosphere was more of a question and answer interactive session.

A debate is an avenue for creating a mind change, a debate is speaking passionately as according pressing concerns. Its the ultimate avenue to showcase the relative competencies of the candidates in an intellectually engaging manner. A debate is a challenge, a debate is competitive, its fiery. A debate is pulling out the facts, throwing verbal molotov cocktails, a few tricks up the sleeve in a way thats acceptable by the rules of the game. A debate is not a jolly good ride

Today's Presidential debate was short in all measure of the signs of what a debate should be.
