I didn’t speak to any journalist on Tinubu/Shettima ticket-Awolowo-Dosumu

Executive Director of the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation and Chairman, African Newspapers of Nigeria Plc, Olatokunbo Awolowo Dosumu has granting interview to any journalist on the Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Awolowo Dosumu said she has not been involved in partisan politics for decades, urging the public to disregard a fake news in circulation in her name.

A news item, which has circulated widely online quoted Awolowo Dosumu as warning Nigerians of a plot to get rid of Tinubu in favour of Shettima if they win the 2023 presidential election.

In her reaction, however, the daughter of the late Obafemi Awolowo described the report as false, mischievous and wicked.

She said: “I am not in partisan politics and I have not been in partisan politics for decades. I have neither endorsed nor condemned any candidate or party. I have no intention to do so. I refuse to be dragged into a matter I know nothing about.

“I advise whoever is behind this wicked lie to make better use of their time for the progress and development of our country, Nigeria.”
