A leading All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential
aspirant, Bola Tinubu, has denied endorsing a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Tinubu said the text message being circulated at the Eagles
Square, the venue of APC Special Convention, was false.
He noted that the text messages were the handiwork of
shameless, desperate, and misguided individuals.
Tinubu’s denial was contained in a statement signed by his
Media Office, and posted on his verified Twitter handle.
The message reads: “We have been informed of text messages
aimed at APC delegates purportedly from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, other
candidates and party officials making various false claims about Asiwaju and
the primary process.
“We have been informed of a text message going around APC
delegates at Eagles Square in Abuja purportedly from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
claiming that with his imminent victory at the APC presidential primary and
emergence as the party’s presidential candidate, the APC leader has now decided
on a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“This is nothing but a lie, it has no basis whatsoever.
“We enjoin the distinguished delegates to ignore this
completely.
“The fake text message is a ploy by some undemocratic
elements to confuse and hoodwink delegates sensing that Asiwaju Tinubu is
comfortably coasting home to victory.
“There is no truth whatsoever in any of these messages. They are lies perpetrated by shameless, desperate and misguided individuals and should be ignored as such.”
