Labour Party’s Peter Obi failed to show up at the presidential debate organised by Nigerian Elections Debate Group (NEDG) in Abuja on Sunday. His campaign said technical challenges with his aircraft caused his absence.

Campaign spokesman Diran Onifade released a statement to explain the situation.

“The Obi-Datti Campaign hereby states that our candidate, Mr Peter Obi, was unable to attend the debate programme following the advice of the technical crew of the aircraft he was travelling in.

“After an engagement in Akure, Ondo State, he meant to head for Abuja for the debate but was advised otherwise due to technical issues with the aircraft which made the Pilot decide to head for Lagos instead.

“It must be noted that in anticipation of Mr Obi’s arrival, senior members of the campaign and the party had gathered at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, venue of the programme.

“They included the Director General of the Campaign, Balogun Akin Osuntokun, Campaign Manager, Ambassador Oseloka Obaze, as well as Labour Party functionaries, including Mrs. Esther Nenadi Usman and Alhaji Audi Mohammed,” the statement read.

He is still in trauma after drone exposed Labour party yesterday. It was like that in Lagos, only God knows the extent they went to doctor other state rallies. Yesterday exposed labour party to be an empty party with existence only in social media.

Pity Obi still recovering from the pains of his failed 'mega' Lagos rally.

Political Jesus. Lol

Is it the rally I attended or another rally? Only fools believe the propaganda pictures you guys are circulating.

By the way, is Tinubu not a candidate in the election? Why do you play deaf and dumb about his attendance at the debate?

I am not for Peter obi but these nonsense people organising these debates should rest already, they want to kill the man?? Must he attend every function??

Na Peter obi himself I blame, he has made himself too available and it's detrimental in one way or the other.

There should be limit to evertin, today debate tomorrow debate

Debate should not be more than twice..any other ones are jamborees

If you urchinns just stopped at this sort of fooolishness, we will understand somewhat. It is foooolishness but at least some will also say it is politics!!

But what we will not accept or tolerate is when the idioots amongst you APC urchinns go and FORGE letters(twice in 2 days) and insult all Christians and Christianity by blatantly accusing CAN(the umbrella body of all Christains in Nigeria) of collecting bribes(when something like that never happened). It is intolerable.

You guys in APC are now so degenerate that you continue to INSULT Christains this way without any fear. You were the guys that introduced the devilish and divisive Muslim-Muslim ticket. You were the party that manufactured FAKE bishops in total jest of Christianity. And now this.

There surely will be consequences

Tinubu told them to hit as hard and as low as possible. They’re just following their desperate master. Let the old man have his hope with this nonsense for two more weeks

We will soon put him out of his misery on election day. Tinubu himself will thank us for rejecting him and his hopeless party in his concession speech. We are doing him a favour lol

Ik

Okay now

Good

Lol, always giving excuses . Baba needs time to find another Asian country to use as a case study , he seems to be running out of Asian countries for his comparative analysis. I suggest Nepal or Iraq.

All I know is that we don’t want to hear Biafra or death after d election

It's a shame how youths drag themselves over someone's absence from debates which on a good day he will attend excluding others. It's a shame how youths want a better Nigeria but can't queue behind the youth presidential choice. It's a shame youths celebrate campaign rally pictures and tear themselves apart over filled and scanty stadiums. Indeed, tribalism, religious bigotry and inability to separate light from darkness and mental slavery is high among us young lads. Instead of to outsmart these politicians, we they cap rubbish

Imagine

As you not ashamed of yourself

When others are discussing about debates and interviews, this urchin would want to join in such discussion when his candidate on whose mandate he is standing on has never ever attended any interview or debates, not even with his personal TV station
