The campaign committee for Tinubu asserted that they did not apologize to Donald Duke.

The All Progressives Congress Campaign Council claimed on Tuesday that it never sent a letter of apology to Donald Duke, a former governor of Cross River State, regarding the use of his image in a documentary about Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate.

The documentary “Bola Tinubu And His Political Journey,” which uses a picture of the former governor of Cross River to show Tinubu when he was young, has subsequently sparked a lot of discussion on social media.

Prior to this, a statement purportedly from Bayo Onanuga, a spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), had appeared on some media outlets. The statement claimed that the campaign had apologized to Duke.

Onanuga, however, disregarded the aforementioned reports in a statement on Monday, pointing out that the campaign did not apologize to Mr. Duke.

No member of the Tinubu campaign media directorate, according to Onanuga, gave the former governor of Lagos State permission to issue the aforementioned apology.

He said : “Our attention has been drawn to a press statement currently in circulation credited to the Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.

“In the said statement, Mr. Onanuga was reported to have apologised to Mr. Donald Duke for an error in the use of his picture in a documentary on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We want to categorically state that the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council did not authorise the said statement and Mr. Onanuga didn’t issue any statement on behalf of the campaign council and our principal, Asiwaju Tinubu today.
