Key candidates in Nigeria's 2023 presidential poll were quizzed about their political track record at a recent debate. But Tonyevill3 and phykel27 found that some of the claims were false🇳🇬

The so-called"town hall" debate held on November 6, 2022, brought together leaders and representatives of various political parties hoping to sway millions of Nigerians who go to the polls on February 25, 2023, to elect a new president, governors and lawmakers.

Filmed in Nigeria’s capital of Abuja in front of a television audience, the moderated round table covered issues like security, fuel subsidies and the economy for more than two hours. Audience members were invited to ask questions. Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party, was represented by his running mate and governor of the southern Delta state, Ifeanyi Okowa.

Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress’s candidate Bola Tinubu was absent. His campaign spokesman, labour minister Festus Keyamo, said Tinubu would not participate in events other than those organised by him or his party. With Tinubu and Abubakar absent, Obi, Kwankwaso, and Kola Abiola, a presidential candidate of fringe opposition People’s Redemption Party , argued why they each deserved to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari next year.
