Finally Opening Up About Why I Don’t Do Live Interviews, Tinubu
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, APC’s presidential candidate, said on Monday that he is a marketable man.
If elected in the next 2023 election, Jagaban, as he is affectionately known, promised to provide loans to students at different universities.
This was said by the former governor of Lagos State during a Chatham House event titled “Nigeria’s 2023 Elections: In Conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” which Vanguard was able to follow on Twitter.
The APC presidential candidate spent time talking about and offering answers to the nation’s problems.
Tinubu said throughout the conversation why he doesn’t do one-on-one interviews with Nigerians.
I consider myself as a marketable person, he said. I refused their offer to utilize me to generate income.
Remember how Nigerians questioned and denounced Tinubu for allegedly refusing to participate in live interviews like his two main rivals from the PDP and Labour Party.
The All Progressives Congress, APC’s Chief Spokesman Festus Keyamo and Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, the campaign council’s deputy director of public relations, responded by saying that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not avoiding live interviews and that campaigns had not yet begun.
He will speak to the nation on several occasions. Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan said that Tinubu’s opponents’ technique of a live interview could not be imposed or coerced onto Tinubu.
Speaking about education, Tinubu, however, noted that he would change the Almajiri system in the North and pledged that his government would provide loans to Nigerian students.
Equally as important, the APC candidate for president pledged to increase the number of schools and hire/train teachers throughout the nation.
Mr. Tinubu said with regards to diaspora voters that “their right to vote should not be abrogated.” He pointed out that the only person who can comment authoritatively on the subject is the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.
