Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Keyamo says ‘Tinubu is strong enough for presidential race’
Campaign Spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s Media Organisation, Mr. Festus Keyamo SAN, says the ruling party’s standard bearer ‘is strong and healthy enough for the race ahead.’
Mr Keyamo further assured that Asiwaju Tinubu is not withdrawing from the presidential race in Nigeria as insinuated ‘by some people in the media.’
Keyamo was reacting to claims in the media that Tinubu will be withdrawing from the race due to health challenges.
“We also wish to use this medium to debunk the false and misleading posts on various social media handles of supporters of Mr. Peter Obi that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is withdrawing from the race on health grounds. This is nothing but a figment of their warped imaginations. Our candidate is strong, healthy and fit enough for the coming campaigns. The opposition will hear loud and clear from him soon” Keyamo said.
Keyamo further denied the existence of any “Tinubu’s Group” which he said was referred to in a video by the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Dr. Peter Obi.
According to Keyamo, the video by Obi ‘accused an amorphous and non-existent Tinubu’s Group of spreading a Whatsapp message calling on the Yoruba not to vote for him,’ adding that the purported message, ‘according to Obi, forewarned the Yoruba that a vote for Peter Obi would be a vote for a seaport in South/South and South/East.’
Keyamo stated such a group ‘does not exist and that Obi’s video is a campaign strategy to pose himself as a victim before Nigerians.’
“We vehemently deny the existence of any of such “Tinubu group” that made and circulated such a message. All groups supporting the APC Presidential Candidate and his running-mate have clear designations with well-known promoters. In addition, it is only messages released by the APC Presidential Campaign Council that are officially authorized and for which we take responsibility” Keyamo said.
