APC Disowns Viral Picture of Tinubu With US President, Biden

The All Progressives Congress Campaign Council has dismissed a viral photograph alleging that the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, held ‘talks’ with the United States President, Joe Biden, at the White House.

According to the Director of Media and Publicity for the APC campaign council, Bayo Onanuga, the viral picture was the latest attempt in a series of misinformation being dished out by the political opposition.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Onanuga accused supporters of Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi of coming up with the picture.

The statement partly read, “A viral photograph showing Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and United States President, Joe Biden, in talks at the White House is the latest in the series of misinformation being dished out by the political opposition.

“We cannot just fathom the purpose of the mischief and the falsehood, which emanated from the rabid followers of Peter Obi.

“The apparently photo-shopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju Tinubu will embark on a foreign trip this weekend.


“Although America was listed among his destinations, according to an unofficial report that was widely shared, we can confirm that the APC presidential candidate was in Abuja all through Tuesday. He was in Abuja on Monday as well, and has no need to surreptitiously leave Nigeria, like some candidates do.

When contacted, Obi’s media aide, Tai Obasi, denied Onanuga’s accussation.

Obasi said,“Onanuga is wrong. That is not how people in Obi’s camp operate. It is not our style. The APC supporters are the experts in photoshopping and spreading of false rumours. We don’t deal in that. One thing about Obi’s supporters is that we don’t hide or cover our faces to release any statement. There is nothing to be ashamed of in what we write or post. We say the truth the way we know it.

The development is coming barely 24 hours after the PCC similarly denied issuing a statement to apologise to former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, over the use of his photograph in the controversial documentary of the APC candidate
