2023: Tinubu slept through peace meeting, Sowore mocks APC candidate
The gruelling schedule of the ongoing presidential campaign seems to be taking a toll on some candidates like Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was after Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress (AAC) candidate tweeted on Friday, about how Tinubu allegedly made no contribution, sleeping through a meeting of the candidates.
