Tinubu Won’t Attend Arise News Presidential Town Hall Meeting – APC Campaign Spokesman

Director, Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga has said the busy and hectic campaign schedules of Asiwaju Tinubu will not permit him to honour all invitations from different radio and TV stations for debate and or Town Hall meetings

Onanuga was reacting to advertisement by Arise News in connection with a Town Hall meeting scheduled for 4 December.

The APC presidential campaign council spokesman said “hence our decision for him not to start with one media organisation and later ignore the others”

The statement reads in part:
“WE are surprised that the TV station listed our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as a participant, when there was no prior consultation with him and his aides and no consent of the candidate obtained for the advertisement”.

“We deem this as professionally wrong and reckless”.

“No media organisation should arrogate to itself the right to railroad any candidate to fit into its own agenda”.

“As we said in an earlier statement, the busy and hectic campaign schedules of Asiwaju Tinubu will not permit him to honour all invitations from different radio and TV stations for debate and or Town Hall meetings hence our decision for him not to start with one media organisation and later ignore the others”.

“In the absence of a unified and mutually acceptable all parties and all candidates platform, our candidate has been speaking directly to Nigerians, since President Muhammadu Buhari launched Tinubu’s Action Plan for a Better Nigeria.”

“Till date, over seven town hall meetings with strategic sectors have been held across the geopolitical zones, where the candidate and his running mate have spoken about their programmes.”
