‘Media houses should go out for news’: Darboe complains amid absence of media houses at UDP’s all-Badibu meeting

UDP leader Ousainou Darboe frowned at the absence of many media outlets at UDP’s all-Badibu meeting over the weekend.

UDP held a big rally in Njaba Kunda on Saturday but Darboe could not hide his disappointment after only EyeAfrica TV showed up at the event.

Mr Darboe said: “I want to thank EyeAfrica for their presence. All the media houses were written to informing them we’re holding a meeting. Even if UDP did not write to any media house informing them we’re holding a meeting, any UDP meeting is national news.

“Media houses should go out for news. In fact any meeting of any political party is national news. Media houses should not wait to be invited. But GRTS which is state media do not come to our meeting when we invite them.”
