2023: Tinubu Reacts To His Alleged Manifesto Causing Controversy
Following the emergence of a document tagged a 2023 campaign manifesto on cyberspace,Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, has exonerated himself from any purported campaign manifesto.
The former Governor of Lagos State has maintained the document in circulation is in no way his 2023 campaign manifesto and was not endorsed by him.
Clearing the air, the Asiwaju of Lagos explained that the document was a mere draft proposal and suggestions on the programmes he should implement if elected President.
The 70-year-old’s denial was contained in a statement signed by the Director of Media and Communications, Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Bayo Onanuga on Sunday.
He assured that his manifesto would be a more serious document than the one in circulation.
Tinubu disclosed that he would present his manifesto to Nigerians when the document is ready.
The statement reads partly:
“I want to place it on record that the manifesto being circulated via social media platforms and already published by a section of the mainstream media is not the official manifesto of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and APC for the 2023 general elections.
We want to clearly state that the document is an unofficial document and Tinubu cannot be held accountable on any of the issues raised in the document.
The presidential candidate and APC are currently working on an all-embracing manifesto that will inspire the confidence of Nigerians.
When the official policy document of Tinubu is ready, it will be formally presented to Nigerians and our candidate will be in a position to defend every word that will be contained therein.”
