Obaigbena to Alake/Onanuga: 'Present Bola Ahmed Tinubu For Debates'

TINUBU/OBAIGBENA

The Chairman/Editor-in-Chief of THISDAY/ARISE NEWS Media Group, Prince Nduka Obaigbena, has challenged the handlers of the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to present him for debates.

Obaigbena made the call while responding to allegations levelled against him by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council’s (PCC) Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, and its Director, Strategic Communication, Mr. Dele Alake.

The Publisher equally challenged them to present their candidate for debates and town hall meetings for the electorate to interrogate his proposed policies and programmes and make an informed choice on who should lead them in the 2023 election.

According to a four-page rebuttal to an article by Onanuga and Alake, which was in response to an earlier statement by the THISDAY/ARISE News Board of Editors, titled: 'Tinubu and THISDAY/ARISE Media Group and the Attack on Free Speech,' Obaigbena stressed that journalists were not the opponents of the APC presidential candidate in the forthcoming election.

The statement titled: 'Lies Have Short Legs, They Do Not Run Far – The Fake News from Bayo Onanuga and Dele Alake,” categorised into four parts, was signed by Obaigbena’s Chief of Staff, Fawuziya Mohammed.
