Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has maintained that he will not grant Arise News invitation to attend its presidential town hall meeting.

Tinubu, made this assertion in a statement signed and made available to Vanguard by Bayo Onanuga, the Director, Media & Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Council on Friday.

The APC presidential candidate 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 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.

“These direct engagements will continue before the election on 25 February 2023. We therefore urge Arise News to stop using our candidate’s name or portrait in its advertisement, forthwith,” he said.

Arise Tv is owned by one of these Nyamiri outcasts.. so not safe for Jaagaban

The hatred an average Nyamiri outcast has towards Tinubu even the devil doesn't hate Adam and Eve like that...


an average Yiibo person is bittered about hearing the name Tinubu....and some of their sons and daughters, grandpa and grandma are here in the southwest without being fearful or hurt...

I doubt if Tinubu will stay a night in any part of Yiibo land because he might not survive it.

Criminal Tinubu.
God has already rejected you

Someone that has attended up to 7 different town hall meetings is hiding? Town hall meetings that were also televised?

Another neck pressing by IPOB and Arise (PDP) wont work

MUST HE GO TO ARISE TV?...nobody can force PO to go where he doesn't want to go to.

Peter Obi visited Ibadan and didnt go to the Oba...like he did in Benin and some other places...did anybody force him or say he must visit the Oba.

Rest abeg...no be by force

Criminal politicians

To PDP, at this stage, it's anybody but Peter Obi.

They are happy for Tinubu to win, if it means Peter Obi losing.

JAGABAN

Lol


You guys are so funny and entertaining seriously

You mean Obi? I mean the same Obi that we all know in Anambra will turn naija to obodoyinbo? LOl, even if Jesus should rule Nigeria, in the next 1million years Africa and Nigeria in particular will only dream of being like America just as Obi will only dream of being BIAFRA president not to talk of Naija president

LOl

It is not the matter of PDP but reality on ground

Obi will not come distant third in the coming election. It is a known fact bro

PDP will only have a chance if Obi and other former PDP members step down for Atiku who has the might and structure to defeat JAGABAN

You have already judged me without knowing the party I support.

It how's you have hatred for OBi.

Lol, I don catch you.

Keep up with the hate.


I hope someone won't hate your future children for no reason.

Toluwanise247:

If tinubu is your father will you say @God has rejected him”.

I will not advice my father to contest at his unknown age for president.
The rejection is all about the betterment of Naija.

I don't support "Baba Push and Start" but whatever Arise TV is doing is wrong....

You cannot force someone to a meeting without their consent....

Especially when the person in question is known for his frequent gaffes on the campaign train....

Baba Push and Start will never attend the meeting because he knows that he would Yarn Opata again,

that would expose his degenerating and deteriorating mental health condition ....
