The All Progressives Congress, APC, has denied reports that
its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu asked Nigerians to disregard President
Buhari’s order on naira notes.
Director, Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign
Council, Mr Bayo Onanuga, in a statement on Friday, said that the report was an
attempt by opposition elements to put a wedge between Buhari and Tinubu.
Onanuga described the report as fake news, stressing that Tinubu
never issued an advisory on behalf of Asiwaju Tinubu.
He stated: “Our attention has been drawn to fake viral news
published by the Peoples Gazette, claiming Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC
presidential candidate has asked APC governors to ignore President Muhammadu
Buhari’s broadcast and enforce the Supreme Court ruling on the recirculation of
old naira notes.
The message quoted by Peoples Gazette was being randomly
shared on WhatsApp. Mr Alake was not the author.”
Onanuga maintained that Tinubu has called for calm as the
authorities try to find a solution to the currency crisis and also offered a
six-point suggestion to lessen the anguish Nigerians are facing trying to get
money from commercial banks.
According to him, it was inconceivable and unthinkable that
Tinubu would instruct APC governors to disregard President Muhammadu Buhari’s
order on the currency matter.
Onanuga, therefore, urged journalists to always confirm the
authorship of their materials from the Media & Publicity Directorate of the
campaign.
