The All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate,
Bola Tinubu has called on his Labour Party opponent, Peter Obi, to caution his
supporters against purveying fake news.
Speaking on behalf of Asiwaju, the Director of Media and
Communications of the Tinubu Campaign Organisation(TCO), Bayo Onanuga alleged
that the supporters of Obi have been disseminating fake news to the general
public, damaging the reputation of the APC candidate.
Recall that a report emerged online a few days ago, that the
Ghanian President, Nana Akufo-Addo wrote a letter to Asiwaju, asking him to
step down and support Peter Obi and take care of his health.
The President had via his official Twitter handle, debunked
the report, calling it fake news, stating that it is a product of deliberate
mischief with the intent to deceive the public.
Reacting, the TCO media Director asked Obi to disavow his
supporters who are employing fake news against the former Lagos State Governor.
“We have come to a point where it becomes imperative to tell
Obi to show leadership and disavow his supporters who are employing fake news
and disinformation as deliberate tools to deceive and poison the minds of
unsuspecting Nigerians,” Onanuga stated.
