The presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar honoured the invitation to attend the 2022 conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, currently holding at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, however, was not present at the conference session he was invited for, he was however represented by the vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima.
Reno Omokri in series of Facebook posts Monday, questioned Tinubu’s absence from the event which he said is happening “5.7 kilometres from Bola Tinubu’s residence at Bourdillon, Ikoyi.”
He wrote, “If Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi can fly to Lagos to speak at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference, then what excuse can Bola Tinubu have if he does not show face there? It is happening in Lagos. He lives in Lagos. Lagos is his base. He claims to be from Lagos (although Osun…).
“The venue of the 2022 NBA Annual General Conference is exactly 5.7 kilometres from Bola Tinubu’s residence at Bourdillon, Ikoyi. Atiku flew 1400 kilometres from Yola to attend. Obi is attending. Something must be wrong somewhere if Tinubu does not attend! Why is Tinubu running away from talking to Nigerians?”
