PETER OBI'S U.S STRATEGY, LIKE ATIKU'S DUBAI STRATEGY, WILL FAIL - TINUBU

The All Progressives Congress APC Presidential Campaign Council has dismissed speculation about Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's health, declaring that he is fit and will not withdraw from the 2023 presidential race.

It specifically targeted the Labour Party LP Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi, and his supporters for funding a campaign of misinformation against Tinubu.

According to the council, Obi is already planning a fake assassination attempt on his life with his own supporters dressed in APC attire. 

Festus Keyamo SAN, the Council's Director of Media and Public Affairs and Official Spokesperson, accused Obi of making and disseminating false information in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja - "an offensive, hate-filled video" in which he accused an amorphous and non-existent "Tinubu's Group" of spreading a Whatsapp message calling on the Yoruba not to vote for him.

In a terse response, Obi's spokesman, Mr Emeka Obasi, stated that the LP Presidential Candidate does not lie.

"Peter Obi is not known for faking things unlike Keyamo's principal", Obasi stated.

Keyamo who is also the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, said the same way the "Dubai strategy" employee by Mr Obi's "boss" failed in 2019, the LP candidate "US Strategy" will also fail in 2023.

On Tinubu's health, the council said: "We also wish to use this medium to debunk the false and misleading posts on various social media handles of supporters of Mr. Peter Obi that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is withdrawing from the race on health grounds.

"This is nothing but a figment of their warped imaginations. Our candidate is strong, healthy and fit enough for the coming campaigns. The opposition will hear loud and clear from him soon."
