The questions were described by the moderator as controversial and quite popular from those who were sending them online, in a Channels Television Live Presidential Town Hall Series, The People’s Town Hall that, featured Atiku Abubakar, Governoer Ifeanyi Okowa, PDP’s Vice Presidential Running mate.
Responding, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said that he had been asked these questions several times and that all what he said was that he asked the tweet to be deleted because he normally approved every tweet going out on his handle and since he didn’t approve it, He said it should be deleted.

On whether he will condemn the killing of Deborah, Atiku Abubakar said if his subsequent statement on that murder was read, you will find that he condemned it as there is nowhere in the Islamic faith where there was an injunction that you can take someone’s life.
