A Professor of political economy, Pat Utomi, has challenged President Bola Tinubu to defend the record of his administration in a live presidential debate ahead of the 2027 general election.
Utomi threw the challenge while speaking on the state of the nation and the need for accountability.
“Defend your record in a live presidential debate,” Utomi said.
According to him, Nigerians deserve to hear directly from the President on the economy, insecurity and governance, not through spokespersons.
