He made the claim on his Twitter page and vowed to stop the debates, saying they are fraudulent.
Sowore wrote, “It has come to our attention that the Nigeria Election Debate Group has excluded us from the series of Presidential Debates to herald 2023 election, as typical they’ve settled for failed and clueless candidates.
“We will ensure these fraudulent debates are stopped!”
