The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, have arrived in Minna, Niger State, to attend a town hall meeting with agro-allied and commodity groups.
This was disclosed in a video posted on Twitter by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Lagos State, Jubril Gawat, on Monday.
In the video, Tinubu and Shettima were seen greeting supporters who came to welcome them at the airport as they made their way through the crowd.
CEOAFRICA had reported that both the presidential candidate and his running mate had shunned the Arise TV town hall meeting held in Abuja, on Sunday, as no representative from the APC camp was present.
The APC campaign council on Sunday night justified Tinubu’s absence saying he had other engagements in Minna (Niger) prior to the meeting.
The Director of Media and Communications, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement had said; “We are in Minna now for engagement with farmers and agro-commodities groups ahead of tomorrow. The media cannot suddenly come up with a debate and wants us to drop everything we are doing to attend it. It is wrong. We also have our campaign schedule to attend to.”
