Bola Tinubu, the National Leader
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Monday distanced himself from
reactions attributed to him on the just concluded governorship election in Edo
State.
A statement attributed to Tinubu
had surfaced on social media regarding the just concluded election.
The statement quoted the former
Lagos State governor as saying APC’s defeat was an indication that members of
the party are not gods.
He was, however, quoted as saying
the extent the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, went in ensuring their victory
was an indication that APC was closed to being gods.
However, Tinubu dismissed the
statement, stressing that such was not from him.
Tinubu’s spokesman Tunde Rahman
confirmed this in a press release.
Rahman, who described the
statement as fake, said the APC National Leader would make an extended
statement at the right time.
According to Rahman: “Please
disregard any post to the effect that His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has
spoken on the Edo elections. The said statement is a fake one. It’s the antics
of social media merchants of fake and unsubstantiated statements.
“It did not come from Asiwaju. Those who know
Asiwaju would recall that it’s not in his character to rush to issue
statements. At the appropriate time, His Excellency Asiwaju will speak on the
Edo election. Thank you.”
