Sowore, who took to his verified Twitter handle on Friday evening shortly after the meeting under the chairmanship of a former Head of State and co-chairman of NPC, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), added that Tinubu did not only sleep off through the meeting, but he couldn’t also talk as the APC national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, spoke for him.

The meeting was apparently informed by the cacophony of tirades of abuse and barrage of verbal attacks by the candidates in the ongoing campaigns for the forthcoming general election.
