The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Saturday dispelled a common report that under wraps he met with the G5 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in London.
Reacting via a statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, Tinubu said the report is a mistruth, adding that in any case he is at liberty to hold meeting with anybody.
The statement reads in part: “While in the United Kingdom, Asiwaju Tinubu noted some articles in some national newspapers in Nigeria, alleging a secret meeting was held in London between him and the G-5 governors who are members of Peoples Democratic Party.
“These reports, to say the least, are not only in bad faith but also evil intentioned.
“They were published to advance the political interests of the writers and their sponsors.
“The presidential standard-bearer of the All Progressives Congress, His Excellency Asiwaju Tinubu, is neither bothered by these articles nor by their sponsors who are well known.
“He is resolutely focused on his campaign objectives which are geared towards achieving victory in the upcoming presidential election to deliver the APC’s Action Plan aimed at giving a Renewed Hope to our people in all facets of their lives.”
