You Can't Force Me Into Media Debates – Tinubu Tells Atiku, Obi

The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has said he won't be forced to attend national debates. This comes after the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi among other parties faulted his absence at the Ariste TV town hall meeting in Abuja. Tinubu said Atiku’s camp could not force him to appear or send representatives to national debates.

 
He berated Atiku’s camp for following his absence at national debates. Recall that a spokesman of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign team said Tinubu was afraid of being exposed; hence his refusal to attend national debates. However, the APC presidential candidate said he would not be “railroaded” into appearing for media debates. Tinubu disclosed this through his Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga. A statement by Onanuga read partly: “The more absurd of the two positions was the one canvassed by the spokesperson of Atiku/Okowa campaign. The PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar didn’t also attend Arise News Town Hall Meeting.

“Instead of PDP to tell Nigerians why its presidential candidate has not returned to Nigeria after their purposeless visit to United States where he and his other 15 peripatetic adults were given a cold shoulder by US senior officials, the spokesperson is busy chasing shadows “We want to state again for the attention of both PDP and LP, that Asiwaju Tinubu will not be railroaded into media appearances and debates.”

The  world is reading about a  presidential candidate that runs away from debates.  He succeeded and  fooled Lagosians to get into the Senate and state house as senator and governor.  Not this time.  Not  again
