The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it did not apologize to the former
Governor of Cross Rivers State, Mr. Donald Duke, for erroneous usage of his
picture in a documentary on the presidential candidate of APC, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu.
The Director of Media and Publicity of the Council, Mr. Bayo
Onanuga, in a statement issued Monday clarified that a purported statement
currently in circulation credited to him did not originate from him.
He insisted that the campaign council did not issue any
statement on behalf of Tinubu to apologize to Duke.
Onanuga therefore urged the media and members of the public
to disregard the statement as a fake news designed to create confusion and
mislead the public.
He said “Our attention has been drawn to a press statement
currently in circulation credited to the Director of Media and Publicity, Mr.
Bayo Onanuga.
“In the said statement, Mr. Onanuga was reported to have
apologised to Mr. Donald Duke for an error in the use of his picture in a
documentary on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“We want to categorically state that the Directorate of
Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council did not authorise
the said statement and Mr. Onanuga didn’t issue any statement on behalf of the
campaign council and our principal, Asiwaju Tinubu today.”
