In response to audience protests, Okowa claimed that Atiku got the invitation and informed the organizers that he would be out of the country, and was given permission to send a representative.

“I’m very much aware that there was a communication to him (Atiku) and he’s outside the country. We duly obtained the permission of the organizers of this programme for him to be represented.

“It’s a town hall meeting, and that person was duly given. I think that should solve the problem of the agitations going on. When it is time for debate we’ll get into debate” He said
