Mrmb:


He had a more important schedule to keep up.....

bennybuhari:
When did Abati attack Oseni? Abi na u dey unstable

KingOfBoyz1:
Why should Tinubu hide from interviews self. Abi e get another thing wey them wan ask am wey pass bala bulu

Belleful:


The one he grant BBC news na wetin?

Lanrefront90:
I found it funny when people say tinubu is running from interview, his the most hardworking candidate among the three because his refusing to grant arise tv interview does not mean his running away from interview. Secondly accusing him of drug deals if you have evidence take him to court .

PrinceOfLagos:
Only a very wicked thief will support Tinubu for president

BluntTheApostle:


You missed the whole point. And yet you people are always quick to call others dumb when you are actually the dumb one.

The point is not that Tinubu did not attend the Arise TV Town hall meetings or interviews, but that Abati is criticizing Tinubu as if Tinubu committed a terrible offense.

Despite all his gallivanting from one interview to another, Obi did not release a manifesto until after Tinubu had released his.

We prioritize nonsense in this country. Abati should rather be evaluating Tinubu's manifesto, rather than making it seem like attending presidential debates is mandatory.

PrinceOfLagos:

Tinubu is running away from interview because of his corrupt way of doing things

Thief no dey like too much question

IfnobeGod20:

Mr. Man, you're the most dullest person I have ever seen commenting on this platform. Can a manifesto fulfil itself? If Tinubu that prepare a manifesto cannot be bold enough to come out and defend his manifesto by answering critical questions about what he put in black and white, then there is a problem somewhere.
This is the same issue we had with Buhari and APC, when they said they never promise so many things their supporters were saying during campaigns because nobody scrutinize their manifesto by subjecting them to defend it and telling the nation how they we implement what they put out to the public.
Please you people should be using common sense and don't pretend to bury the one God gave you.
Manifesto don't fulfil itself, the owner of the manifesto fulfil it and also reserve the right to explain how he will fulfill them to the people that he wants to govern.
NTA called him for interview, he declined.
ChannelTV called him for interview, he declined.
Kadaria called him for Townhall Meeting, he declined.
NBA called him for interaction, he declined.
ICAN called him for interaction, he declined.
AriseTV called him for debate and Townhall Meeting, he turned it to fight.
Does that make any sense to you with the above as a patriotic citizen of Nigeria?

dominic17:
The press are duty bound to hold public or intending public office holders accountable. If Tinubu is refusing to present himself to be interrogatted on how he plan to govern if he wins, it is the duty of the press to call him out.so why attacking arise TV for doing her job when what he should have done if he feels arise is bias is simply to go to other channels and debate his ideas.If he can behave this way during campaign what do you think he will do if he wins? This is simply a dictator in making if we allow him to have his way.

Oddfinder12:

Infact attending presidential debates are compulsary and mandatory. Which mumu manifesto are u talking about. U mean i should read manifesto and ask the manifesto questions abi. Why una mumu like dis. So u want to hand over the most populous black country in the to a candidate that has only a paper? Will the manifesto answer our questions? Why is he running from the media. Una don madd finish

dominic17:
Why are these APC miscreants so dumb? NTA the candidate why didn't Tinubu attend it? Is NTA also owned by PDP card carrying member too?

dominic17:
What could be more important than a platform that provide a wider reach for a candidate campaigning for an office? Mind you he also refused to attend ICAN conference, NBA conference etc. Obviously, Tinubu has nothing to offer that is why he is running away and no sane person with good intentions will support his ambition.

Mrmb:


Instead of the ICAN meeting he went to the more Chatham house to address Nigerians in diaspora. Mind you he is holding rallies to address those he wants to serve. He knows those contesting against him are below his level that's why he left them to argue with themselves. It's an insult for a man of Tinubu's caliber to sit around the same table with Obi and be mincing words with him... He knows his worth and he placed himself in a level higher than theirs, he has given conditions to debate them, let them meet those criterias first and see if he would debate or not

Tito24:
what's your concern about Tinubu?
Is he the only one contesting

Abi na only him una dey fear?

BluntTheApostle:


Where in the ethics of journalism or mass media is it written that the press is duty bound to interrogate presidential candidates?

Moreover being duty-bound doesn't mean you should criticize a politician for turning down an interview.

The major thing is that he has a manifesto. Go and peruse his manifesto.

dominic17:
Manifesto is not the major thing, the major thing is being able to defend the programs in your manifesto which is why we are calling Tinubu to come and debate his programs in his manifesto like other candidates. Are telling me that the major thing in job hurt is to have a CV without going for interviews? Buhari in the same APC that has a manifesto how far? Please let us be objective when we are discussing issues that affects our country, the effects of bad leadership does not know tribe or religion.

dominic17:
My concern is I am a Nigerian and live in Nigeria If we make mistake to a disaster it will affect me and my generation. Yes he is not the only one contesting but he is the only one that's running away from debating his ideas.

BluntTheApostle:


Another stupid cretin from the Obidunce camp.

My point is that Tinubu has done what anyone with a sense expects from a presidential candidate. Release a manifesto.

BluntTheApostle:


You people should stop this nonsense.

Job interview is not the same as presidential debates.

In fact, in the United States, presidential debates are targeted at those who are undecided.

The others already know who they would vote for, presidential debate or not.

The major thing is the manifesto. You can think of it as a proposal.

BluntTheApostle:


Show me where in the law you saw this.

Even in the United States, presidential debates are a tradition, not mandatory.

IfnobeGod20:
It is the duty of the press or media to hold accountable anyone not only those in authority section 22 of the constitution say so.
Chapter 2 Section 22 compels “the press, radio, television and other agencies of the mass media to, at all time, be free to uphold the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people.
Before you reply me, think of who is the government. Until you know who is a government before you know what we are talking about.
