2023: Obasanjo Denies Endorsing Tinubu, Warns His Supporters Against Fake Claims

Newsie Events:

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has warned supporters of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to desist from peddling  claims that he had endorsed him.

Obasanjo, in a statement issued through his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Saturday, expressed his displeasure with what he described as unauthorised report of the discussion at the closed doors meeting he held with Tinubu.

He added that the statements coming from those claiming to be supporters of Bola Tinubu are unhelpful.

Recall that Speaker of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, had made a statement on Thursday while speaking at the Surulere Local Government Area APC meeting in Surulere, Lagos, saying that what transpired during the meeting between Obasanjo and Tinubu was a sign of victory for Tinubu come 2023

Gbajabiamila, who claimed to have been present at the closed-door meeting on Wednesday in Abeokuta, said from what he heard there, Tinubu’s presidency was almost a reality.

Reacting to the claim, Obasanjo said the statement credited to him is fake and that the people behind the report are not helpful to the candidate .
