The spokesperson, Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation, Daniel Bwala, has likened the inability of Bola Tinubu to attend presidential town hall events and media briefings to adjudication of responsibility.
Bwala who faulted the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate’s outing at the Chatham House in London, accused him of not honouring press invites in Nigeria.
Tinubu was in Chatham on Monday where he reeled out his plans for Nigeria and also cleared the air pertaining to his age, and qualifications.
During the outing, Tinubu delegated some of his associates to answer questions posed to him; a move Bwala says does not augur well.
Bwala spoke while appearing on Channels TV on Tuesday.
“About education, if they are asking you questions about individuals that are older than you after you have made the intervention, you can say, ‘I want ABC to add further.’
“What he is doing is that he is saying, ‘Nigerians, I want you to vote 5, 10 or 12 of us. And a man who does not have regard and respect for the freedom of the press – look at the constitution, the freedom of the press is as important as fundamental human rights.
“He has abdicated the responsibility of appearing before the Nigerian press, but he went to what he called the rest of the world to appear before them,” he said.
While several reactions have trailed the Chatham House outing including claims that Tinubu gaffed during the event, his associates have defended him, accusing top contenders like Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) of doing so
