I know this is quite irrelevant but can we talk about how @atiku Is hearing and answering his questions himself?

Like, we've been battered so bad, this is something I so badly want to celebrate 😩😫😭#NgTheCandidates
Kadaria hasn’t broken a smile since the interview started, squeezing face like its Atiku that sank Nigeria into -2% recession.

But with Buhari she was flashing teeth like small girl they’re chyking.
Very poor moderator.#NgTheCandidates
PDP people are legit trying to accuse Kadaria of bias. Imagine! Y’all need to have your 🧠 checked atink.

I think that’s enough evidence one needs that the interview went very badly for their candidates. Meanwhile the main defeat is still loading…
Pls I agree with @atiku on automating the civil service to reduce face to face contact that breeds corruption. Those govt workers own too much! #NgTheCandidates

After watching @Atiku’s performance at #NgTheCandidates who would you say performed better between him and @MBuhari?
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) January 30, 2019
RETWEET for Atiku. Like for Buhari
Almost feels like this shouldn’t end, but like every good thing, #NgTheCandidates has to come to an end.
— 'Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) January 30, 2019
But it gets #Better from here and I say again:
This is Nigeria’s best Presidential contenders ever in history.
Vote Atiku-Obi on Feb 16 and Let’s Get Nigeria Working Again.
For me, here was the clincher…

Peter Obi – Those who are in the PDP today are cleaner because they are not running from prosecution, those who have a bad record have moved on to the APC #NGTheCandidates
Atiku: When you reduce Coporate tax, it creates incentives to investors that then employ more people, the people that are employed get taxed.

Pardon my French: That was Fucking brilliant!!! 😩😩😩

“If you're a commander and I have given you all that you need in terms of equipment and the welfare for the troops and then you're over run by insurgents, I will deal with you” – @atiku #NgTheCandidates
When Kadaria was grilling Buhari, None of you complained about her interrupting Osinbajo and all of a sudden she's biased to you ? #NgTheCandidates
— Fakhrriyyah (@FakhuusHashim) January 30, 2019
#NgTheCandidates tonight was entertaining, informative, and stimulating. Impressed by all three participants here. @KadariaAhmed for asking tough questions (though she did seem tougher than on the incumbent) and @atiku & @PeterObi for answering directly and clearly. Well done.

I am from Katsina State but after watching #NGTheCandidates and see how @atiku nd @PeterObi respond, i am so glad they're the people that want to #GetNigeriaWorkingAgain. I will support them in February 16, 2019 and I urge Nigerians to vote them for #BetterNigeria. pic.twitter.com/PoNJ6JV9xQ

Let me confess today…
— Niger Delta (@Franeb) January 30, 2019
This is the first time I am hearing @atiku tackle issues and he is very balanced. .
See guys let us vote @atiku to get Nigeria working again. …
Please don't fail your generation. .#NgTheCandidates
Why is Kadaria so confrontational? Why is she interjecting so much? #NgTheCandidates
