The All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council has denied reports that the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, met the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola in London.
“Fake, Misleading” – APC Reacts To Reported Meeting Between Tinubu, CJN Ariwoola
In a statement on Thursday night, the APC PCC Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga described as “fake, misleading and malicious” a media report that Ariwoola disguised to meet with Tinubu.
Onanuga said the President-Elect is currently in Paris, France, and not in the UK.
According to the campaign council’s spokesman, there is an attempt to create doubt about the legitimacy of the election that produced Tinubu as president-elect.
“We refute emphatically that there has been no clandestine meeting between the President-elect and the respected Chief Justice of our country, any where. It’s pure fabricated news, groundless in fact and authenticity,” Onanuga stated.
“What kind of appointment or secret meeting will the two men have arranged in London, with so wide disparate arrival dates, except in the imagination of the false news merchants?”
“We can confirm that the President-elect, who left Nigeria Tuesday has not been in London. He is right now in France to have a deserved rest, after a hectic campaign that began in January 2022. He will go to London thereafter before proceeding to Mecca for the lesser Hajj.”
