The introduction of three of the four presidential candidates, Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Shettima was greeted with different reactions from the learned ladies and gentlemen at the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Annual General Conference held in Lagos State.
Goldennewsng reports that the learned colleagues, as lawyers call themselves, threw caution to the wind to celebrate Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate more than the duo of Atiku and Shettima who represented the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Recall that the invitation to the NBA 2022 AGC was extended to Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Bola Tinubu.
While Kwankwaso of NNPP did not attend the event, Tinubu, who lives about 18 minutes drive to the Eko Hotel where the event was held sent his vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno State.
