Bola Tinubu

National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has dissociated himself from a group known as Asiwaju Reloaded Ambassadors’ Nigeria.

The group, according to tweets by Mr. Tinubu late Tuesday, has been pushing for the APC leader to declare his intention for 2023 presidency by printing his image on face caps, T-shirts, shirts, and leaflets.

Tinubu has been enmeshed in calls for him to run for presidency at the expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in 2023.  

“We have seen pictures of face caps, T shirts, shirts and even leaflets with Bola Tinubu 2023 embossed on them purportedly by a faceless group which christened itself ‘Asiwaju Reloaded Ambassadors’ Nigeria’,” a statement by his office said.

“Neither the group nor its souvenirs are known to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. We hereby, through this medium, categorically deny any knowledge of the group and dissociates Asiwaju Tinubu from the group’s unsolicited and unwarranted materials.”
