The All Progressives Congress Canada Chapter has decried
various allegations against the presidential candidate of the party, Bola
Tinubu, saying all the allegations are untrue.
To this end, the party said it had concluded arrangement to
set up a committee that would be saddled with the responsibility of debunking social
media misinformation and blackmails against the presidential candidate of the
party.
The chairman of the APC Canada chapter, Mr Omololu Apata,
said this in a statement on Tuesday. He said the chapter had been contributing
its resources to ensure the party wins the forthcoming presidential poll.
According to him, many allegations and untrue stories had been said about Tinubu in the recent times, particularly, on the social media, but he said the committee would be countering any social misinformation.
He said, “Apart from contributing financially and in
materials in this election, we are in the process of setting up a committee
that will be dedicated to the debunking of social media misinformation directed
at our party and it presidential candidate.
“There’s so much at
stake in the forthcoming elections, it is not surprising therefore that in
desperation, some people have turned social media to the harbinger of slander
and blackmail. The role of the committee among others, will be to counter any
lies or misinformation towards our principal candidate with facts that will
invalidate their tissue of lies.”
While declaring support for the development of APC in
Nigeria, Apata, said, “We are determined to do even more in the current
political dispensation to ensure that our great party maintains and sustains
the continuity necessary to leave an indelible footprint of growth, development
and stability for generations yet unborn in Nigeria.”
He added , “We are also blessed to have Alhaji Ahmed Bola
Tinubu, a transformative and visionary politician as our flagbearer. We are
already making our presence felt in Nigeria by working with and supporting the
Diaspora directorate ably headed by Prince Ade Omole.
“It is also great to have a prominent member of APC Canada
Chapter in the person of Dr. Abiola Oshodi as a member of the presidential
campaign council.”
