Tofa and Abiola were the presidential flag-bearers for the National Republican Convention (NRC) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) respectively.
On … (can’t remember the date) both men took their campaign to national TV, that presidential debate was devoid of rancor, bitterness, name calling …, which are the hallmark of recent presidential debates in Nigeria.
Both men who aspired to lead Nigeria back then succinctly articulated their views ,points cum manifesto, in a bid to win their hearts and get their ballot.
It was a battle of wits, as both were erudite, watch this scintillating 15-minute clip as we go down memory lane together.
