The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will, on Tuesday, in Lagos appear at the Nigerian Guild of Editors’ (NGE) Forum to present his policy plans for the country.
A statement by the NGE’s President Mustapha Isah, and General Secretary Iyobosa Uwugiaren, reads: “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 election. Letters have been sent to many political actors to be part of this engagement.
“To kick-start the conversation, we wish to invite all members of the NGE to participate in the first edition of the Editors’ Forum on the 2023 general election, which holds on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at Colonnades Hotel, 21 Alfred Rewane Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, by 6 p.m.
“The guest speaker for that day is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.”
