Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress, asserts that he has been barred from taking part in the presidential debates ahead of the 2023 election by the Nigerian Election Debate Group.
The activist said that the debate’s organisers had chosen “failed and dumb candidates” on Tuesday via his Twitter page.

He also made sure that the “fraudulent” discussions would end.
Sowore said;
It has come to our attention that the Nigeria Election Debate Group has excluded us from the series of Presidential Debates to herald 2023 election, as typical they’ve settled for failed and clueless candidates.
We will ensure these fraudulent debates are stopped!
A pro-democracy think tank, the Centre for Democracy and Development recently invited some presidential candidates for a debate on Sunday.
It is pertinent to note that Sowore was not part of the presidential candidates that received invitation for the event.
Leading contenders for president in the 2023 elections were invited to speak about their visions for the nation.
They had the chance to persuade Nigerians throughout the discussion that their political parties had the greatest solutions to the problems facing the nation.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi of the Labor Party, and Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso of the (New Nigeria Peoples Party) were the candidates invited to the town hall organised by the CDD in partnership with Arise Television.
