APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, has dismissed rumours suggesting he is currently in Kano, meddling with the state’s forthcoming supplementary election. ICYMI Nigeria
“Asiwaju is not in Kano and has not been in Kano at any point during the conduct of these elections. The picture that these liars are circulating of Asiwaju and Governor Ganduje is one that was taken last year when the governor visited Lagos,” his media adviser, Tunde Rahman, said in a statement last night.He said those peddling the rumour know the picture is not true, but “they still use it because their relationship to the truth is an adversarial one.
“The fear-mongers know the picture is old and was taken in Lagos. They still use it because their relationship to the truth is an adversarial one. Scratch a liar and you will find a hypocrite as well. These people encouraged and cheered when former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and outgoing Senate President Bukola Saraki led a posse of Peoples Democratic Party figures into Lagos, boasting they were going to “capture Lagos” during the governorship elections.
“Regarding the people of Kano, Asiwaju has nothing but the utmost respect and admiration. Kano has historically stood as a bastion of progressive politics. Its brand of politics helped inspire the establishment of the APC. Kano has an enlightened electorate that will vote as they believe. Asiwaju hopes that they will disregard the lies and rumours about him and remain faithful to their progressive tradition.
