Okupe: Obi Won’t Attend Debates Where Tinubu, Atiku Are Absent by Symphony007(op): 3:42pm On Nov 07, 2022
The Director General of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe says the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi will no longer show up for debates if his counterparts in other parties do not show up.

Okupe made this known at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

Okupe also 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.

Obi is in the race for Aso Rock’s top job alongside frontline presidential candidates like Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party.

Obi; Kwankwaso; and Kola Abiola of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) were present at a debate on Sunday. Though Delta State Governor and PDP vice-presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa represented Atiku, Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima were absent.

Tinubu has succeeded in killing the idea of any political debate.

Dino Melaye is very unintelligent.

Obi for president

If Arise TV dies, Nduka Obaigbena should hold Reuben Abati responsible.

The old idiot killed the TV station with his stupidity and bias.

I guess this is where Presidential Debates for 2023 election comes to an end.

Tinubu will be happy.

Good,he is the frontrunner whether you like or you no like,jeje jeje jeje jeje.

So if those two old criminals Born With entitlement won't attend I see no reason the future president would attend and be ridiculed by cheap ganja taker like Dino.

I saw this coming when i sent Peter Obi a private message on Facebook 29 May 2022.
I know a time will come when they'll start making a caricature of him through the so called interviews & debate.
Check the message:

President Obi will continue to do debates irrespective of the presence or absence of other Fairweather candidates. Labour Party and President Obi's advisors and strategists are simply milking the positive externalities that came out of his spat with Dino. They never expected that the little incident would generate millions of sympathy votes for Obi.

This is a knee jerk reaction, and it says a lot about his campaign.

I think PO is treating this campaign as a sprint and not a marathon where you first conserve your energy. January is the best time for debates for an election holding in February. First Tinubu sent his VP to whitewash him in the NBA meeting, then Atiku finished it up by sending his own VP to the debate.

Tinubu has so played the mind games so well now that, the day he agrees to go for interview, the stations he chooses will feel privileged to be the ones to host him. And that interview will have his fans and mostly his opponent or enemies glued to the TV. It will be like an exlusive.

Unfortunately for PO, he is now looking like those guys girls call when there is a rat in their room or they need someone to replace their bulb, he will run 240 to go and help them. The babes will call him all sort of pet names and Mr nice man but pant, they non go see. But one bad guy somewhere go call the babe at short notice and she go run go..

This is a typical example of Familiarity breed contempt.

Okupe has stood by him very well though, which is commendable.

Gbam !

Obi has done enough, we don't need any lousy debate were some lap dog like Dino would be constituting a nuisance when his candidate is sitting somewhere in Dubai and taking Nigerians for granted.

grin it is becoming embarrassing how they continually reduced Obi to primary school debater.

Obi be like; good morning my co debaters, honorable judges and my attentive audience, I am here to defend the motion which states that I am the best president for Nigeria. I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that Obi is better than Atiku and Tinubu grin
