Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) presidential candidate, has requested Peter Obi, a member of the Labour Party, to warn his followers against spreading untruths that will denigrate him and other candidates.
The politician issued a warning about it in a statement from Bayo Onanuga, the Tinubu Campaign Organization’s director of media and communications.
“The Tinubu Campaign Organisation has appealed to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi to call his supporters to order and to allow this election circle to be about issues that will advance the growth, progress, and stability of Nigeria,” the statement said.
Following a false rumor that Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo wrote Mr. Tinubu a letter requesting that he support Peter Obi and pay attention to his health, Mr. Onanuga made these remarks.
Akufo-Addo condemned the occurrence on his official Twitter account, saying it was the result of malicious mischief done with the intention of misleading the public.
“I have written no such letter to the APC leader, and it will not occur to me to do so. Ghana and Nigeria boast of decades of cordial, strong, and brotherly relations, and I am not going to be the one to interfere in the internal affairs and politics of Nigeria,” Mr. Akufo-Addo tweeted on Tuesday.
“We have found that the fake news about Akufo-Addo’s letter was first published on June 22 by a rogue platform, whose URL reads as worlsnews.space (sic) and site identity as World of News,” the statement said. “A content analysis of the site clearly showed that it is a Biafra news platform. The fake news was reposted on Facebook by Peter Obi Support Group, same day – a clear proof that Biafra campaigners and Peter Obi supporters are the same.”
According to the INEC calendar, the Nigerian general election is scheduled for February 2023, but political antics are expected to flare up when campaigns begin in September.
The PDP’s Tinubu, Obi, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are expected to be the top contenders in the next election.
