The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi will not attend debates if his counterparts in other parties do not show up, Director General of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe said on Monday.
Okupe, who made this known at a briefing in Abuja on Monday, knocked the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar for sending his Vice and Delta Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa to represent him at the town hall meeting organised by Arise Television on Sunday.
Presidential candidate of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso and that of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), Kola Abiola were present during the meeting while the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima were absent.
Okupe said Obi will no longer debate with surrogates or running mates and will back out of any debate even at the last minute should other presidential candidates fail to show up.
