The All Progressives Congress(APC) Presidential Campaign Council has declared Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not attend the Arise News presidential meeting.
It told the media organisation to stop advertising Tinubu will attend its town hall meeting billed for December 4, 2023
A statement by its Director of 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 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.
