Okowa booed at 2023 Presidential debate

The Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ifeanyi Okowa was booed by participants at Sunday evening’s Town Hall meeting series organised for candidates running for the presidency.

The event was put together by the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) in collaboration with ARISE Television.

While Atiku asked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, his running mate, to stand in for him, Tinubu had no representative at the ongoing event.

There was a mild drama when some youths kicked against the presence of Okowa and insisted that only presidential candidates should be given the floor.

“We want only Presidential Candidates here,” they shouted on top of their voices as they booed the Delta governor.

Maintaining his calm, Okowa reached out to the audience, saying the presidential ticket is one, but the aggrieved youth thundered, “No!!!”

However, normalcy was later restored and the programme kicked off behind schedule.
