Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
2023: Tinubu has no plans to defect to SDP-Support Group
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and presidential hopeful cannot defect to the opposition Social Democratic Party (SDP) as being alleged by some mischievous persons, according to the Nigeria Diaspora for Asiwaju (NDA).
NDA Director-General, Dr Akin Badeji, who stated this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, said the two-term former governor of Lagos State has no such plan., adding that that does not loom large at all.
Recall Tinubu feigned ignorance of Monday’s presidential declaration of his erstwhile political godson, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, saying he had no son grown enough to have made such declaration.
Badeji disclosed that Tinubu remained the national leader of the APC and was focused on his consultation across the country to seek support from Nigerians and critical stakeholders of the party, ahead of 2023 poll.
“The attention of NDA has been drawn to an unsubstantiated report making the rounds on social media that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, leader of the APC is set to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“The news report is fake, baseless and should be regarded as such. It is nothing but an imagination of those who planted it,” the group DG said.
He, therefore, appealed to Nigerians and APC members especially, to ignore the fake news on steroids.
He also called on Nigerians to continue to support the APC and the presidential ambition of Tinubu, saying he was the right man to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 after the completion of his tenure.
