The National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has denies stories making rounds in the social media of his attack on President Muhammadu Buhari.
The social media has been awash of a statement purportedly made by Tinubu, where he regretted supporting Buhari in the 2015 presidential election that eventually threw him up as president.
But the former Lagos governor in a statement by his media office Tuesday denies making such statement.
“In the past 48 hours, we have noticed the churning out of falacious and outright malicious stories in the social media concerning Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,” the statement said.
“We want to state that the stories are patently false and we urge unsuspecting Nigerians to ignore the lies being spread and the wicked stories about what Tinubu purportedly said or did. The stories being churned out are being done by some fifth columnists who seek to drive a wedge between these leaders. One of such stories is the one entitled ‘Tinubu Bombs Buhari,’ which is fit only for the trash can and a figment of the writer’s imagination.”
“Asiwaju Tinubu remains a staunch APC stalwart and supporter of the APC government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. Tinubu is preoccupied with assisting to find solutions to the present challenges now confronting us as a nation and nothing will distract him from doing this.”
