What Tinubu Said After His Rumoured Meeting With President Joe Biden In America

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has said that Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling party, is presently in Abuja and not in the United States (US).

A statement late on Tuesday night by the PCC Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, said a viral photograph showing Tinubu and U.S. President Joe Biden in talks at the White House “is the latest in the series of misinformation”.

He blamed the deception on supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party.

“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 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,” Onanuga said.
