Veteran journalist, Reuben Abati, who anchored the first presidential media chat held by President Bola Tinubu on Monday, has disclosed that the President did not have foreknowledge of the questions he answered from journalists during the chat.

Speaking on Tuesday during the Morning Show on Arise News, Abati said it was a good development that President Tinubu had the media chat.

He said those who interviewed him did not see the President until he walked onto the set and they were kept waiting for a long time before the chat commenced.

Abati added that he was impressed with the responses from the President and urged his media team to ensure such chats, where Tinubu can speak to Nigerians, happen more regularly.

“Nobody asked us to submit questions; President Tinubu didn’t say what are you going to discuss. In fact, we did not see him until he walked onto the set.”

“I was impressed with the fact that he was in very good spirits, and he was prepared to take on the encounter, and he was ready to talk to Nigerians.

“I think by way of recommendation, as an ancestor in this business, it is something I would like to recommend to his media team that he should do it more regularly.

This is the first one. Let him do it again and again and talk to Nigerians,” Abati submitted.
