The viral photograph showing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and U.S President, Joe Biden is a misinformation being dished out by the political opposition”- APC

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s nominee for president in 2023, is currently in Abuja, not America as had been rumored, according to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

In response to the rumors, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Director of Media and Publicity for the APC PCC, stated this in an interview with News reporters on Wednesday in Abuja.

He called the image circulating that Tinubu was in the United States with President Joe Biden false and advised disregarding it.

“A viral photograph showing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and U.S President, Joe Biden in talks at the White House is the latest in the series of misinformation being dished out by the political opposition.

“We cannot just fathom the purpose of the mischief and the falsehood which emanated  from the rabid followers of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.

“The apparently photo-shopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju will embark on a foreign trip this weekend,” he said.

Although America was mentioned as one of Tinubu’s destinations in a widely circulated unofficial report, Onanuga claimed he could confirm that the APC presidential candidate spent the entirety of Tuesday in Abuja.

He stated that Tinubu didn’t need to flee Nigeria secretively as some other presidential contenders did because he was in Abuja on Monday as well.

According to the party’s campaign schedule, he said the APC presidential candidate would travel to Bayelsa for a rally on Thursday.

“He is not scheduled to travel outside the country until the weekend for speaking engagements.

“His first port of call will be Chatham House in London, where he will speak on his Action Plan for Nigeria,” the APC PCC Director of Media and Publicity disclosed
