However, standing in for him was his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.

The 2022 NBA AGM is themed “BOLD Transitions.”

Also present at the event were Governors Solomon Lalong and Godwin Obaseki of Plateau and Edo State respectively.

The Lagos State Attorney General, Moyosore Onigbanjo represented Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, while the Chief Judge of the state, Kazeem Alogba, was also present.

Reacting to the absence of Tinubu at the NBA conference holding in his political fiefdom, Nigerians poohpoohed his decision to delegate his running mate, Shettima to represent him at the event.

See some reactions:

Can someone from APC explain to me like we are 5years old why unlike other invited ones, the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is being represented by Senator Kashim Shettima at the 62nd Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association?#NBAAGC2022

Nigerians have indeed rejected Bola Ahmed Tinubu. His Vice Presidential Candidate, Kashim Shettima, representing him at the 62nd Nigerian Bar Association conference, is being ignored by lawyers with lots of noise and side conversations as his speech is ongoing.

Tinubus refusal to attend the NBA conference is a pointer to the fact that the 3major contender for the 2023 General Election are:

Peter Obi, Atiku and Shettima.

Tinubu is a place holder.

Tinubu absence from The NBA conference further reinforces the popular Opinion that Tinubu is just a presidential placeholder for his Vice President Shettima. Scary!

Tinubu is weak and Senile, he can’t stand the stress of leading a country like Nigeria. Vote Wisely!
