“I strongly believe in the importance of creating credible and independent platforms where political candidates can engage directly with the people, present their ideas, defend their policies, and allow voters to make informed decisions.”
Amunike thanked the NUJ administration led by Comrade Nsibiet John and the debate planning committee for considering Kevinblak/Olayini State as a partner for the election debate.
