2023: Why Tinubu is correct to decline debate invites — Kalu

According to Senate Minority Leader Orji Uzor Kalu, Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) did the right thing by declining offers to participate in presidential debates broadcast on national television.

Additionally, Senate Kalu charged that several media outlets had criticised candidates during the presidential debates. In an interview with newsmen yesterday in Abuja regarding presidential debates planned by some media outlets ahead of the upcoming elections in 2023, he made the statement.

Senator Kalu has also claimed that some media outlets are using their platforms to disparage national politicians.

Kalu said: “Well, let me tell you, they turn it to be an insult. If I were Bola Tinubu, I would not go there (the debate). I don’t pretend; I’m not a politician that pretends.”
