The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is in Nigeria and has not had any meeting with the president of the United States of America, Joe Biden.
Tinubu’s campaign group made the clarification after a clearly photoshopped photograph went viral on social media purporting to be that of the APC presidential candidate meeting with Biden in the US.
Bayo Onanuga, APC PCC Director of Media and Publicity, said Obi’s followers were behind the photoshopped viral photograph.
He also said the photograph of Tinubu meeting with Biden was fake and should be disregarded.
He accused followers of the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of circulating the photograph.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, Onanuga said: “A viral photograph showing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and U.S President, Joe Biden in talks at the White House is the latest in the series of misinformation being dished out by the political opposition.
“We cannot just fathom the purpose of the mischief and the falsehood which emanated from the rabid followers of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.
“The apparently photoshopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju will embark on a foreign trip this weekend.”
Onanuga said Tinubu was in Abuja, not in the US.
He, however, confirmed that the APC presidential candidate is scheduled to travel to the US over the weekend.
He said Tinubu was billed to travel to Bayelsa for a rally on Thursday.
“His first port of call will be Chatham House in London, where he will speak on his Action Plan for Nigeria,” he said.
