Tinubu gives reason why he will not show up for Arise News presidential town hall meeting
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, The All Progressive Congress Presidential candidate has vowed not to grant Arise News invitation to attend its presidential town hall meeting.
The APC flag-bearer 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.
