The Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG) on Thursday in Abuja
said it was not aware of the purported boycott of the Presidential and
Vice Presidential debate by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr Taiwo Alimi, founding Chairman and now Consultant to the NEDG, disclosed this while briefing newsmen after a meeting to ascertain their level of preparedness for the debates.
He said that group had invited all 14 political parties with their presidential candidates and was especting all of them to attend as the group had not gotten any letter to the contrary.
“As far as we are concerned, the NEDG has invited all the political parties; no political party has written to us saying they do not want to participate.
“Whether APC has sent a press release, there should be courtesy of the party replying to us and letting us know.
“So far, all the 14 political parties that we have invited, we expect them to participate.
“NEDG does not go by newspaper statements by organizations, if we have written you, you will reply us and let us know whether you are coming or you are not coming.
