The All Progressives Congress has raised the alarm about purported plan to further impugn on the reputation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The latter has been dogged by certificate scandal in recent times with the Supreme Court on Monday commencing the process to lay to rest dispute arising from his declaration as winner of the presidential election by the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC.
The Chairman of the U.S. chapter of APC, Prof. Tai Balofin, said the group intercepted plan by a fake National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) in the country to weigh in on the President’s Chicago State University certificate issue with the view to tarnish his image.
The University don made this known via a statement he released, saying; “This impostor NADECO is organising a World Press Conference aimed at propagating unfounded claims regarding the educational credentials of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Balofin wrote further, “It is unbecoming and counterproductive to attempt to tarnish his reputation for political gain and cheap blackmail.
“Furthermore, we would like to clarify that the group organising this World Press Conference under the banner of NADECO USA is not the original NADECO that President Tinubu was a part of during the Abacha era.
“We urge the public not to be misled by these attempts to distort history. The leadership of APC USA stands firmly against any attempts to undermine the reputation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and, by extension, Nigeria.
“We believe in the strength of the democratic processes and the judicial system to address any legitimate concerns.
“Premature and unfounded allegations not only do a disservice to the public but also risk diverting attention from pressing issues that truly deserve scrutiny.
“We remain committed to democratic principles, and we encourage this group hiding under NADECO USA to engage in constructive dialogue and allow the legal system to take its course in addressing any genuine concerns.”
