President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The All Progressives Congress(APC) Presidential Campaign Council has declared Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not attend the Arise News presidential meeting.
A statement by its Director Media and Publicity Bayo Onanuga said: “Our attention has been drawn to an advertisement by Arise News in connection with a Town Hall meeting scheduled for 4 December.
“We deem this as professionally wrong and reckless.

“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.”
