Bayo Onanuga, a former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) is the spokesperson of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu presidential campaign has dismissed a trending photo allegedly showing Tinubu on sickbed in London
Onanuga in a release urged Nigerians to stop spreading rumours about Tinubu, who by the grace of God and fellow Nigerians, will be elected our leader next February.
According to him “we spoke today at about 2pm. And he told me how his one week retreat has not made any difference. He was still working like in Nigeria. Today, he still burnt his candle till 4.30 a.m..
The statement said “Here is a fake photo of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu forwarded to me just now, another handiwork of purveyors of deep fake. Whoever is behind this malicious falsehood will face the judgment of God at the right time. The man in the photo does not look like Asiwaju, except for his baldness. The man is fatter. Tinubu is slimmer.
Look at the frame of his glasses. it is certainly not Tinubu’s trademark frame.
Let me assure Nigerians who genuinely want to know Tinubu’s whereabouts. He is in London, in his house. Tinubu left Nigeria on Saturday night for a short break and in readiness for what will certainly be a gruelling campaign. I saw him, spoke with him two hours before he left: . He was hale and hearty. He was not ill. He didn’t go to treat any ailment.
“We spoke today at about 2pm. And he told me how his one week retreat has not made any difference. He was still working like in Nigeria. Today, he still burnt his candle till 4.30 a.m.. Nigerians should stop spreading rumours about Tinubu, who by the grace of God and fellow Nigerians, will be elected our leader next February.
“We should learn from the divine fate of the man who wished Tinubu dead”
