Asiwaju Tinubu’s Supposed Meeting with Governor Wike in France is Fake News - Media Aide

The Media office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has disapproved of the reports circulating in the media linking the Flagbearer to a meeting with Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike in France, describing it as fake news.

In a press statement released on Friday by the Media Aide to Tinubu, Tunde Rahman, he said it became important to set the records straight as no encounter in such regards took place.

Rahman said: "It has become imperative to set the record straight. Although Asiwaju Tinubu is presently in France, he didn't have any meeting with Governor Wike whether in that country or anywhere whatsoever".

PRESS STATEMENT 

Asiwaju Tinubu’s Supposed Meeting with Governor Wike in France, is Fake News

We have seen a viral social media post made by one of the chieftains of All Progressives Congress in Lagos State and media reports emanating from same about a supposed meeting in France between APC Presidential Standard-bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

It has become imperative to set the record straight. Although Asiwaju Tinubu is presently in France, he didn't have any meeting with Governor Wike whether in that country or anywhere whatsoever. 

This, however, does not detract from the fact that the APC presidential candidate holds Governor Wike in high esteem.
And given the national and across-party lines appeal of Asiwaju Tinubu's candidature, he will not hesitate to meet any important national leader when desirable.

As made public earlier, Asiwaju Tinubu is in France for some important engagements. He will return to the country shortly.

We would like, once again, to advice journalists to always cross-check their information with appropriate officers before rushing to press to avoid unintended errors.

OJELABI: LEADING WITH VISION AND INTEGRITY – A RESPONSE

We have taken notice of recent publications and attacks on our frontline and well-respected Leader, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, the Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State by a few misguided persons masquerading as representatives of coalitions in the riverine areas of Ojo Local Government and in particular, Oto-Awori LCDA. The writers seem to suggest that Hon. Ojelabi's decisions are driven by a desire to block others from the riverine communities of attaining prominent political positions in the areas. While we respect their right to free speech, we cannot let their wrong assertions and malicious attempt to misinforming right thinking members of the public go without a response. To set the record straight, a crucial meeting was held by all the political leaders in Oto-Awori LCDA on Thursday, April 24, 2025 where a decision was reached that the duo of Hon. Kareem Azeez Abiodun, the current Vice Chairman of the LCDA, and Hon. Moses Aina, current leader ...
