Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has described as “professionally wrong and reckless” for Arise News to announce his invitation to attend its presidential town hall meeting without prior consultation with him.
In a statement today, November 25, on behalf of Tinubu, the Director, Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, expressed concern over an advertisement by Arise News in connection with a Town Hall meeting scheduled for 4 December.
The statement reads: “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 organization 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 organization and later ignore the others.
