Tinubu, a former Lagos State Governor came under criticism as he was missing at last Thursday’s signing of the Peace Accord. The Peace Accord is a document signed by presidential candidates ahead of the general elections.

However, Tinubu was represented at the event by his running mate, Kashim Shettima, a former Governor of Borno state, northern Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Newsone Nigeria reports that major contenders in the presidential race, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) were all present.
