The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, will tomorrow appear at the Nigerian Guild of Editors’ (NGE) forum to present his policy plans at Colonnades Hotel, , Ikoyi, Lagos .
A statement by the NGE’s President, Mr. Mustapha Isah, and General-Secretary, Mr. Iyobosa Uwugiaren, said the forum is intended for editors to interrogate the presidential candidate on the policy options he is presenting to Nigerians as the nation prepares for the 2023 general election.
The statement read: “One of the fundamental issues that featured prominently during our Editors’ Training Workshops and Town Hall Meetings, held across the six geo- political zones early this year, with the theme: ‘Media And The Task of Consolidating Nigeria’s Democracy,’ was the need for Editors to thoroughly interrogate the democratic landscape. This comprises the political actors: the electoral body, the candidates for elections, the security agencies, the political observers and the electorate, ahead of the 2023 general elections. The whole idea is for the media to put all the political actors and other stakeholders on their toes and provide the electorate with useful information to enable them make informed decisions before, during and after the 2023 general elections. Letters have been sent to many political actors to be part of this engagement.”
