Less than 24 hours after the opening ceremony of the Nigerian Bar Association conference, the trio of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Bola Tinubu has been invited to the National Unity Polo Tournament, in Keffi-Nasarawa State.
The event will witness the presence of other political giants, monarchs, and other powerful stakeholders in the country.
This was made known on Tuesday, August 23 in Abuja by the founder and promoter of the event, Mr. Ahmed Wadada.
The event will be a four days tournament which is slated for later on September 8 to 11.
As contained in the statement issued by the organizer, the event will open a platform for understanding amongst the presidential candidates who will be running for the top seat in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
He said:
“Already the political atmosphere in the country is charged ahead of the commencement of campaigns by all presidential candidates.
”It might hot up in the next couple of months, hence the need for the tournament in order to douse tension in the political space.”
Meanwhile, the event will allow Bola Ahmed Tinubu to redeem himself after receiving a lot of criticism for missing out on the NBA conference yesterday.
