So @feladurotoye just called his running mate ‘beautiful and delectable’;VERY INAPPROPRIATE. Obviously the only thing she has to offer is her beauty and sex appeal and right on the subject of the marginalization of the girl-child/ women in the country. #Presidentialdebate2019

So d moderator asked a question on gender inclusivity and Fela Durotoye decided to tell us his running mate is "beautiful and delectable." The irony.
A televised Presidential debate and those were his first words? Did d man think he was introducing some edible flower on the menu?

Ugochinyere made the allegation while appearing on Arise TV on Wednesday morning, July 12. “There’s so much power that the president has in the constitution that he could use to bring this matter to a close within the shortest possible time. But the South-East leaders need to sit down to find a common ground over this issue of insecurity. The most important thing is that we want peace in the South-East because everywhere is devastated.
