Although he showed up at the venue of the debate after his return from the United States, the PDP candidate left the venue without mounting the podium for the debate.
President Muhammadu Buhari, who was also invited for the debate did not show up at all, leaving only presidential candidates of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Oby Ezekwesili; Alliance for New Democracy (ANN), Mr Fela Durotoye; All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari; and Young Progressives Party (YPP), Kingsley Moghalu, to debate.
In a series of tweet after his departure, Atiku blamed President Buhari’s absence for his decision to leave.
We came here for a Presidential debate, not a candidacy debate, and I, Atiku Abubakar cannot challenge or question an administration where the man at the helm of the affairs of the nation is not present to defend himself or his policies. #2019Debate
Afterall, you cannot shave a man's head in his absence. I do not believe in attacking a man who is NOT here to defend himself.

As a leader and former vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, let me first apologise to all Nigerians, my fellow candidates and the moderator for the APC Presidential Candidate’s absence in this debate. His non-appearance is a slight on ALL of us and our democracy.
