There was protest at the Presidential Town Hall Meeting in Abuja after APC candidate was absent and PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar failed to show and instead, sent his running mate, Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa.
Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, and Kola Abiola, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party, all attended the debate on Sunday, November 6, which was organized by the Centre for Democracy and Development and Arise Television.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, was not present, and the ruling party was not represented.
