The Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG), on Sunday in Abuja, said one of its biggest challenges is the refusal of major presidential candidates to participate in the debates.
Mr John Ugbe, NEDG Chairman, said this at the opening of the national presidential debate, organised by the group in collaboration with the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON), some media organisations, the Transition Monitoring Group and some Civil Society Organisations as well as some foreign partners.
Ugbe added that in spite of the development, NEDG would continue to work tirelessly to promote transparency and accountability, to help the public make informed electoral decisions to grow the country’s democracy.
