The All Progressives Congress – APC, has denied rumour of secret meeting between President-Elect, Bola Tinubu and the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola.
Social media report, suggesting that Tinubu and the CJN travelled to the United Kingdom at different times between last week and now, went viral early Thursday. The report claims that Ariwoola disguised as he rode on a wheelchair while leaving the country and checking into a London Hotel.
In a statement on Thursday night however, the APC Presidential Campaign Council – PCC, Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga described the story as “fake, misleading and malicious.
According to Onanuga, President-Elect, Tinubu is in Paris, France, and not in the UK.
The campaign council’s spokesman, claimed that there is an attempt to create doubt about the legitimacy of the election that produced Tinubu as president-elect.
“We refute emphatically that there has been no clandestine meeting between the President-elect and the respected Chief Justice of our country, anywhere. It’s pure fabricated news, groundless in fact and authenticity,” Onanuga stated.
“What kind of appointment or secret meeting will the two men have arranged in London, with such widely disparate arrival dates, except in the imagination of the false news merchants?”
“We can confirm that the President-elect, who left Nigeria Tuesday, has not been in London. He is right now in France to have a deserved rest, after a hectic campaign that began in January 2022. He will go to London thereafter before proceeding to Mecca for the lesser Hajj.”
