FAKE PHOTO ALERT: ASIWAJU TINUBU IN ABUJA AND NOT IN THE U.S.
DAMILOLA LAWRENCE
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed 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 as seen in a viral photograph.
The apparently photo-shopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju will embark on a foreign trip this weekend.
However, the purpose of the mischief and the falsehood, which emanated from the rabid followers of Peter Obi is yet to be known.
According to an unofficial report that was Allegedly widely shared, it was gathered that America was listed among his destinations, but the APC presidential candidate was in Abuja all through Tuesday. He was in Abuja on Monday as well, and has no need to surreptitiously leave Nigeria, like some candidates do.
Tinubu will be travelling to Bayelsa for a rally on Thursday, according to the party’s campaign programme. He is not scheduled to travel outside the country until the weekend for speaking engagements.
His first port of call will be Chatham House in London, where he will speak on his Action Plan for Nigeria.
