Peter Obi’s supporters circulating fake photo of Tinubu and Biden – APC

Bola Tinubu

Media director of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council Bayo Onanuga has accused supporters of Peter Obi of circulating a fake picture of Bola Tinubu and United States President Joe Biden.

Mr Tinubu is the APC presidential candidate while Mr Obi is of the Labour Party.

Mr Onanuga made the allegation against Obi’s supporters in a statement released on Tuesday.

The statement reads: “A viral photograph showing Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and United States 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 apparently photo-shopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju Tinubu will embark on a foreign trip this weekend.

“Although America was listed among his destinations, according to an unofficial report that was widely shared, we can confirm that the APC presidential candidate was in Abuja all through Tuesday. He was in Abuja on Monday as well and has no need to surreptitiously leave Nigeria like some candidates do.

“Tinubu will be travelling to Bayelsa for a rally on Thursday, according to the party’s campaign programme. 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.”
