The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council Spokesman, Festus Keyamo, has explained why the party’s standard bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is not doing live interviews.
Keyamo dismissed the report of Tinubu not doing live television interviews like his opponents because he “is contesting for Nigerian President, not Media President.”
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, who stated this during a chat with Vanguard, said Tinubu was not shying away from live interviews because of ill-health and incapacitation.
He said, “Campaigns have not started. The Nation will hear from him again and again and again.”
Similarly, the Deputy Director, Public Affairs of the campaign council, Kehinde Bamigbetan, said live interview is the strategy of Tinubu’s opponents, and the strategy cannot be forced on the APC presidential candidate.
Bamigbetan stated this on Sunday during an interaction with Vanguard Editors at the Lagos corporate head office of the newspaper.
He added, “Tinubu is engaging in consultations. He is visiting and consulting many prominent Nigerians across the country. Yesterday (Sunday), he visited former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and his beloved mother in Abuja. His is engaging in consultation, consultation, and consultation and not noise making.”
