Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu has announced the appointment of an Arise TV Journalist, Mahmud Jega as Special Adviser, Public Affairs.
The Deputy General Editor of Daily Trust Newspaper, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz was also announced as his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity.
Jega was an in-house analyst for Arise TV and ran a weekly column for Thisday newspaper.
This appointment is coming after recent reports circulated yesterday that a journalist for Arise TV was sent out of an APC event for filming Tinubu.
The TV station and newspaper have been constantly pushing out reportings on Tinubu and have been thorns in the flesh of the Tinubu presidential campaign council, over media-related matters.

Arise TV has repeatedly called for Tinubu to grant them interviews and attend debates, including a town hall meeting which the APC candidate has refused.
Jega particularly had urged presidential candidates to honor media engagements when the controversy between Arise TV and Tinubu rose.
