The town hall meeting which over 1,000 participants including civil society, the media, professional organisations, trade unions, students and the academia are expected to attend, will assess and interrogate the plans and policies of the political parties in addressing the myriad of environment and climate crisis bedevilling Nigeria.

Basey noted that “while the well-being of the environment is a critical factor in a nation where most citizens depend directly on it for their existence, the issue has not been topical in the election conversation.“The challenges of climate change in Nigeria have intensified in recent years. Nigeria, being one of the most impacted frontline countries, has seen an accelerated rate of desertification and flooding, twin manifestations that have seriously threatened security, and food sufficiency.

No show for bat… before it becomes a town hall different….

The one presidential candidate who will not show up is…….?

Vice president should not be entertained. Enough of the joke..

We already know who will not attend …

I'm sure one candidate will not show up.

Is MKO Abiola’s son a presidential candidate?

Town hall that is different …

Two will soon pull out of the town hall meeting

Atiku is in B&W🤣🤣🤣🤣, dead on arrival be that....wonders shall never end🤣

This Townhall will be different from bala blu so Bat will not come

Journalist must not contribute to political problems, or fail to correct wrong article.

Which environment and climate change? My friend, be serious with a serious sos situation in Nigeria. They should speak on current rot in Nigeria society, ways to recover not environment and climate change.

If tinubu goes, call me what you like 😂

Climate change na scam We get pressing issues to focus on for Nigeria

Is this man going to be there or he will send someone to go and represent him.

Town hall meeting is for embryos politians, while Bala bulu and Bula ba is for old cargo. Until you guys set up Bala Bulu meeting before Tinubu can come.

We all know who won't be present

If Tinubu doesn’t honor this invitation, PeterObi don’t honor it too.

Tinubu will not attend.

Tinubu will not come.. officialABAT

People are die of hunger and you people cannot do anything about it and your talking of elections

Nonsense. They should debate in economy and security and leave climate change issues to the west.

Buhari no go show

When please I want to check something

My guy should go and learn about climate change abeg...very important. Hope they all know that it is not too early to start consulting experts even if it's just for casual topical conversations.

Hope it's gonna be a Townhall different from Balablu bulaba., 🤣

SoworeMagashi2023

Pls why haven't we presidential debate yet

But the person that set this picture dey campaign for Tinubu, y he go put him before Obi, arranging things in alphabetically order no dey his mind?

The should rather speak on corruption , poverty and insecurity. These for me are more challenging to our society. What is climate change. Childish entities

You mean the town hall different from…?

If Thiefnubu honour this invitation let me know why. 😆

Good one, It’s a good opportunity for Sowore to lecture and turtor them on Environment, Climate Change. Sowore for President.

We all know someone is not going to be there. It is well sha 🤔

I Trust my Man YeleSowore Digital brain 🧠 ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

We know baba blue won’t be there

Oga Ade no go show

Good news for all professional teachers, the UK 🇬🇧 has finally launched Qualified Teachers Status, QTS. You can now apply for it. We also assist with the application!!! Good luck!!!

Enough of this bullsh******t. Must you wait for every political cycle to organise damn town hall meeting? Bunch of hypocrites. Where are the organisers in the last 7 years. Are you just aware of environmental deterioration?

If officialABAT attends this even, I will stop attacking him. If BAT responds to questions from his heart at this event without any slip or gaffe I will start campaigning for him.... Summary, BAT is already absent

Breaking News; APC vuvuzelas are saying that it's a setup against Baba Emilokañ Asiwaju BAT

Only three faces here look innocent, but so far, one of them has been tested, with no accusations of embezzlement, no fraudulent record from abroad and from the state where he served as a governor. Another 3 are scary, frail, rickety and ready to grasp bigger cake, and deceitful

Guess who will be absent ?

I don't understand! Why climate change, env...? Instead of the future of our youth, education, health, electricity and the issues of jobl.....

A townhall different…

The Man Will Not Come!🤣🤣🤣

Abi some presidential candidates? Tinubu will not attend. He is beaten and bruised. Asi he dey look how everything go scatter sef.

I hope Mr balablue Blu bulaba will attend. He will give us another line again 😃

I hope Tinubu and Atiku won't fly to London for medical

Get ready for PDAPC

Remove Tinubu from the list, he won't come.

😂😂😂

Will Tinubu be there or will he dodge again to avoid public embarrassment?

Are they all presidential candidate for this 2023 election

Who set Bulaba up?

I hope this town hall is not different from balablu

We have 18 candidates vying for the presidential position. Have you invited all of them HOMEFNigeria

One emilokon go run

We would ask them to give us our money, who said it?

Town Hall no dey tire una ?

Hei, God, I hope this is a townhall different from .....

Where is Hamza Al mustapha

Ahaha another wahala so Tinubu go drop another lamba….we never chop blablabluuu finish

Should tell Tinubu, NIGERIANS wouldn't want insult or skit that day. Pls. Go collect ur PVC and VOTE LABOUR PARTY. PETER GREGORY OBI is coming through.

Tinubu will not attend but if he does, it will likely go down this way. 'I call on Gov Ayade to speak on the environment. I call on El Rufai to speak on climate change. I call on zzz zzz. We need to buy more agbado for the ewa and education for akara.' Agbadonians will now clap

Excluding tinubu the greatest coward of the South west.

They want to expose Tinubu's poor intellectual capacity to the world. He is not fit for the office he is seeking for.

Don't expect BAT he's camera shy

PeterObiForPresident2023

Who wants to place bet? Tinubu will not attend

Mr Agbado has left the WatsApp group

Nobody should expect much.... I'm 98% sure that bulaba won't show up. He might just decide to delegate one of his boys to appear for him. But if he comes, lets gather in anticipation because baba must drop new banger.

Only Sowore that doesn't have criminal record. Others are animals.

This town hall will be different

Wetin Tinubu know bout climate change when it is not balabulaba 😂

Tinubu will not come oooo!
