Doyin Okupe, the Director General of Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, has said Mr. Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, will no longer attend debates if his counterparts in the APC and the PDP, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, do not show up.
Okupe who made this known at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, 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, Kwankwaso, and Kola Abiola of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) were present at a debate organised by Arise TV on Sunday. Though Delta State Governor and PDP vice-presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa represented Atiku, Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima were absent.
