Furious after being consistently ignored from presidential debates, the Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has threatened to disrupt any presidential debates that exclude him from attending, henceforth.
Sowore’s reaction was contained in a press statement issued on Tuesday to protest the exclusion of his party from attending the 2023 election presidential candidates debate to be organized by Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG).
He remarked that the idea of being continually overlooked by debate organizers will no longer be condoned as he threatened to stop any debate he is not invited to.
His words, “It has come to our attention that the Nigeria Election Debate Group has excluded us from the series of Presidential Debates to herald 2023 election, as typical, they’ve settled for failed and clueless candidates. We will ensure these fraudulent debates are stopped!”
Recall that Sowore was also denied attendance at the Arise TV Town Hall meeting for presidential candidates which was held on Sunday.
The Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG) is a coalition of Nigerian broadcast organizations, civil society organizations and professional groups that organize presidential and vice-presidential debates for candidates.
