The Deputy Spokesperson for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Hannatu Musawa has described as a misrepresentation, a viral video where the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu allegedly gave money to someone at an event.
In the video which widely circulated on the social media, Tinubu was seen handing what looked like money to a man at an event, with many people tagging it as bribe and vote-buying.
But reacting in a statement on Wednesday, Musawa who claimed to have recorded and posted the said video, said Tinubu was performing an act of alms giving and charity to ‘a poor disabled gentleman’ and not offering a bribe.
The APC member accused the opposition of turning a perfectly innocent video a kind act into something mendacious and devious.
See full statement below:
My attention has been drawn to the dishonest, erroneous and incorrect narrative spun by unctuous, dissipated, debauched and desperate elements within the opposition to turn a perfectly innocent video I posted of a kind act I witnessed my Principals carrying out into something mendacious and devious.
As I watch the negative chronicle being spun by the opposition Svengali’s, trying to enforce a specific negative narrative on the public, it is clear that the falsehood being spread stems from the devious imagination and wicked machinations of a desperate and self combusting opposition.
I would have dismissed the musings as the rantings of an inconsequential opposition, however I am compelled to make this response because of innocent Nigerians that may be misled by such devious rhetoric.
