According to him, Obi, Tinubu and Atiku will not show up in the debate because they lack ideas.<\/p>\n

\u201cBring me and Obi to discuss our ideas on your show, I guarantee that he would not come.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the other two people will not show up \u2013 Tinubu and Atiku dare not show up. They should be afraid because anybody who has got no idea should be afraid.<\/p>\n
