It is like hoping Donald Trump would attend CNN interview. It has to be his corpse.
If they practiced journalism a little more professionally, people would mount pressure on Tinubu to attend. But they are so biased even Tinubu-haters agree he has a point not to attend. They will just roast him and use puddings and ice cream as deserts
They need to at least try to be fairer and neutral and talk about all candidates on their programme instead of talking about only Tinubu and his vices.
The simple way they need to have done it is for all interested TV stations to form a group and create a professional panel of 3 from across stations. Then hold a 90 minutes debate that would be beamed live simultaneously by all channels. This way nobody will dominate and candidates would feel protected. There would also be only one debate.
But they can’t agree. They can’t work together because of greed. Each of them want to dominate and make money from it. They blame candidates when they are worse.
Remember the last two elections when all the small parties cannot agree on one candidate to be supported by all.
Remember when EndSARS rioters cannot produce a group of leaders to speak for them. Our problems in Nigeria are many. Self-induced injuries because of greed and ambition.
