The protest at the town hall meeting for presidential candidates hosted by Arise TV was caused, according to Katch Ononuju, Peter Obi's special adviser on public affairs and member of the Labour Party.

Recall that some attendees protested outside the venue because they disapproved of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the PDP vice presidential candidate, speaking on behalf of his principal and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC candidate, not being present at all.

The Labour Party, whose candidate attended the event, then released a statement stating that they would not be attending discussions where the major presidential candidates would not be present.

Speaking on this on News Central TV, Katch Ononuju said, "I was there sitting beside Dino Melaye. As we were there, they asked why is Atiku not here, Dino turned around and said Atiku cannot come here, he is too big for these people. And that was how a lady beside me said, how do say that? And the people said no we won’t take this.

In response to what he said, everyone suddenly stood to their feet. Nduka Obaigbena approached me while the uproar was occurring and asked, "Katch, what's going on here?" And I added that Dino had indicated Atiku wouldn't attend because the throng couldn't fit him. Dino attempted to deny while the crowd listened to that, and we informed him that we had him on tape.

He's sorry. After learning that, he kept quiet. When the audience heard him at that point, they declared they did not agree that it was a town hall meeting for presidential candidates. When there is a conference for presidential candidates, as we emulate the US, presidential candidates attend, and vice presidential candidates attend meetings for vice president candidates.

At the height of the uproar, we declared, "No, we won't let this kind of thing happen if the aim is exactly what Dino's remarks were repeated to the audience."

The truth of the matter is that debate cannot change the minds of Nigerians.

If Buhari could win the election after performing terribly at the Candidate in 2019, it became clear that Nigerians can vote for fowls as long as the fowl shares the same tribe and religion as them.

The people of this country have sworn that it will never work.

Nigerians especially the youths are learning from history.

If you travel abroad doing an unskilled job as a Nigerian, your name is sorry!

The racism and stigma of mentioning Nigeria will send you home quickly if you don't have patience.

Word is enough for the wise.

If Una like make una no wise up oh

Nigerians have seen the effect of electing someone who refused to debate ...reason we want debate

Atiku to serve us, he's too big to serve Nigerians. Let the small boy Peter Obi do the work for us.

DINO, u talk too much

I agree with you. Obi, Sowore, Abiola and the other jokers should be attending. Atiku and Tinubu should only attend serious debate before the election.

Na frustration hold Dino
Manchi wey tuama for him ama because of one small boy dey call Bello! Dey form big boy now, no wam we go know who be who when the time reach!
