YOU CAN'T FORCE ME INTO MEDIA DEBATES - TINUBU TELLS ATIKU, PETER 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 tropical nation of Maldives has quit the commonwealth saying the inter-governmental organisation had taken punitive actions against the Maldives despite its progress in strengthening democratic institutions. The South Asian country announced on Thursday its decision to leave in a statement via its Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  The statement said: “The Maldives joined the Commonwealth in 1982 with high hopes and expectations, convinced that the organisation will be an arena for coordinating critical issues that the member States, in particular, the smallest members of the organisation face. Since 2012, the Government of Maldives has been giving maximum cooperation to the Commonwealth, shown maximum transparency, and engaged with the Commonwealth at the highest levels. The Government had high hopes that such level of engagement will produce fruitful results. Regrettably, the Commonwealth has not recognised that progress and achievements that the Maldives accomplished

2023: I WISH PETER OBI WAS NOT AN IGBO MAN. - CHARLES AWUZIE

2023: 'I Wish Peter Obi Was Not An Igbo Man'       ▪Sometimes I just wish that Peter Obi was from another Tribe but not Igbo so I can campaign for him without anyone thinking I'm doing so because he's Igbo or people rejecting the best candidate just because of his tribe.  It's difficult being black... Even more difficult being Nigerian and most difficult being Igbo.        ▪Yesterday, someone told me that Peter Obi is a good leader but because of IPOB and their Biafra agitation, he won't vote for him. I  asked him what he thinks about Boko Haram and Shettima... He kept quiet so I told him that his Problem is not IPOB or even Peter but his HATRED for the Igbos which he never realised existed. I asked him if he would vote for Peter Obi if he wasn't an Igbo man. He kept quiet. I then asked him to start seeing Peter Obi as "Peter Ahmed Doyin". We laughed but deep down, I wished that Peter Obi wasn't an Igbo man or at least, that Nigerians are not s
