The absence of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at the peace pact of Thursday has stirred angry reactions from several Nigerians.
Although he was represented by his running mate, Kashim Shettima, his absence sparked outrage, especially in the Nigerian digital sphere.
Nigerian human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, via her Twitter handle, stated that the APC presidential candidate ought to sign the peace pact himself.
She said, “No way should anyone be signing a peace accord on behalf of anyone! Bola Ahmed Tinubu has to sign for himself.”
Bola Tinubu didn’t attend the peace accord signing ceremony for the upcoming presidential elections.

Why is this important? Politicians are often known to sponsor violence if election results don’t favor them.
The absence of a presidential candidate speaks volume!
A user of the microblogging platform, @VictorIsrael_ wondered why the APC vice presidential candidate would be present at the ceremony while asking about the whereabouts of Tinubu. He tweeted, “Peter Obi, Atiku and Kwankwaso are present live at the National Peace Accord in Abuja. But what is Shettima doing there? Is he the presidential aspirant for the APC? Where’s Tinubu? Where’s BAT? A proud and unhealthy man has no place in our Villa.”No way should anyone be signing a peace accord on behalf of anyone! Bola Ahmed Tinubu has to sign for himself.

The Twitter user, @mavisikpeme while reacting to the APC presidential candidate’s absence at the event also posted, “Tinubu is never present when it’s necessary. Peace accord signing, all presidential candidates are gathered except Bat who is not well represented by Shettima “If this does not send a strong message to Baticians, I don’t know what will. Where is BAT?? Say no to proxy!!”Peter Obi, Atiku and Kwankwaso are present live at the National Peace accord in Abuja. But what is Shettima doing there? Is he the presidential aspirant for the APC?

Let it be on record that your leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who believes the office of President is his birthright, is intentionally absent from the symbolic Peace Accord signing ceremony of Presidential candidates in the forthcoming presidential elections. pic.twitter.com/wubV6Ycko2

Tinubu is basically absent from the presidential campaign, but we have people hell bent on voting in another absentee president.
