The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has called on the
Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, to
stop avoiding media debates and town hall meetings organized by some relevant
institutions in the country.
The National Chairman of the party, Prof. Rufai Alkali gave
the advice on Monday at a news conference in Abuja.
Alkali said that if a presidential candidate engages with
Nigerians through town hall meetings and media debates, such action would add
value to his campaign or victory.
According to him, if the candidate avoids Nigerians at media debates and town hall meetings, he will meet them at polling units.
Alkali said Tinubu did not also honor the invitation to the
conferences organized by the Nigeria Bar Association and Lagos Chambers of
Commerce and Industry.
“APC Presidential Candidate Bola Tinubu did not attend the
Arise TV debate and Town Hall meeting by the National Peace Accord.
“The only engagement Tinubu had attended with Nigerians was
the meetings by the Arewa Consultative Forum and the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN)”.
The NNPP boss said that the party and its Presidential
Candidate, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso had devised a new strategy to engage Nigerians
to achieve victory during the 2023 general elections.
“We have adopted a new strategy to engage people so that
they will now have the feeling that the party respects them, cares for them,
and understands their needs.
“So, by the time we ask for votes, they say ah we have seen
you before,” he said.
Alkali also described the Northern Leaders Consultative
Forum (NLCF) as opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members.
He said that was the reason the forum adopted the PDP
Presidential Candidate Atiku Abubakar as the consensus candidate for the North.
“As far as NNPP is concerned, Northern Leaders Consultative
Forum (NLCF) is unknown to us. And there was never a time we had any interface
with the group,” he said.
