CONVENTION UPDATE: Tinubu’s media office alerts delegates on fake text message

The Tinubu Media Office has alerted delegates at the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) convention to a text message purportedly from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to the effect that he has decided on a Muslim-Muslim ticket, following his imminent victory.

The Media Office said the text message was the handiwork of the enemies of the APC national leader meant to disparage him and hoodwink the delegates.

The short message by the media team said: “We have been informed of a text message going round APC delegates at Eagle Square, Abuja purportedly from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, claiming that with his imminent victory at the APC Presidential Primary and emergence as the party’s presidential candidate, the APC leader has now decided on a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“This is nothing but a lie. It has no basis whatsoever. 

“We enjoin the distinguished delegates to ignore this completely.

“The fake text message is a ploy by some undemocratic elements to confuse and hoodwink delegates sensing that Asíwájú Tinubu is comfortably coasting home to victory.

“Truth is Asíwájú is destined for victory and no one can scuttle this through their shameful tactics.

“Asíwájú is not known to jumping guns. He will deal with all important matters pertaining to his presidential pair at the appropriate time, after his victory has been fully established by the distinguished delegates.”
