Tinubu To Sue Leading Media Houses In Nigeria
OpenLife Nigeria reports that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is perfecting plans to challenge leading media houses in Nigeria in court over what he described as “fake news.”
Speaking through his spokesman, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu emphasized that certain media houses in Nigeria have in been involved in biased reportage against his presidential aspiration.
He noted that the media houses have become “puppeteers” to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Labour Party, LP, respectively.
Tinubu, in a statement signed by his spokesman and obtained by OpenLife, listed the media houses to include Business Day, Arise TV, Channels TV and others.
The statement reads in full:
All those people, including Arise TV, BusinessDay and Channels TV spreading fake news and assassinating the character of Asíwájú Tinubu will meet us in court sooner than later. You have all thrown professionalism and objectivity to Jabi Lake because you are playing the script of your master puppeteers, Atiku and Peter Obi. The height of your shenanigans today was the wide use of a fake INEC statement. Shame on you all.
