The All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has told his Labour Party opponent, Peter Obi, to caution his supporters against spreading fake news .
Speaking on behalf of BAT, the Director of Media and Communications of the Tinubu Campaign Organisation, TCO Bayo Onanuga alleged that the supporters of Obi have been spreading fake news to the general public, damaging the reputation of the APC candidate.
Recently, a report emerged online few days ago, that the Ghanian President, Nana Akufo-Addo wrote a letter to Asiwaju, asking him to step down and support Peter Obi and take care of his health.
But the Ghanian President had via his official Twitter handle, debunked the report, calling it fake news, stating that it is a product of deliberate mischief with the intent to deceive many Nigerians.
Reacting, the Tinubu Campaign Organization, Media Director asked Obi to warn his supporters who are employing fake news against the former Lagos State Governor.
“We have come to a point where it becomes imperative to tell Obi to show leadership and caution his supporters who are employing fake news and disinformation as deliberate tools to deceive and poison the minds of unsuspecting Nigerians,” Onanuga stated.
