The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has vowed to stop debates for presidential candidates being organised by the Nigeria Election Debate Group, for excluding many candidates from participating in the debates. There are 18 candidates listed by the electoral body, Independent National Electoral Commission, to participate in the 2023 presidential election.
The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore says his non-inclusion in the Sunday night presidential debate organised by Arise Television and a group, Centre for Democracy and Development was deliberate. CDD and Arise TV had invited Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party for the debate.
