Abdulmumin Jibrin, an All Progressives Congress (APC) member in the House of Representatives, has rated the performances of candidates vying for vice presidency in the 2019 elections.<\/p>\n

Writing on his Twitter account on Saturday morning, Jibrin questioned the accuracy of the facts reeled out by Peter Obi, representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n

The lawmaker was, however, full of praise for Yemi Osinbajo, the APC\u2019s candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great debate. Peter Obi was looking good but should have cross checked many statistics he gave that were inaccurate.<\/p>\n

\u201cVP Osinbajo was simply excellent. He was alert, on point, impressive and brilliant all through. As if we expected less? Prof+SAN.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rest were promising,\u201d Jibrin wrote.<\/p>\n

The debate was put together by the Nigerian Election Debate Group, NEDG and the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria, BON.<\/p>\n

The parties represented were: Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Young Progressives Party (YPP).<\/p>\n

Others who participated were: Umma Getso (YPP), Alhaji Abdulganiyu Galadima (ACPN) and Khadijah Abdullahi-Iya (ANN).\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
