The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has asked his counterpart in the Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi, to call his supporters to order, warning that “falsehood and disinformation will not win elections”.

Tinubu, in a statement by his campaign organisation, on Wednesday, urged Obi to caution his supporters and to allow the election circle be about issues that will advance the growth, progress and stability of the country.

The statement by Director, Media and Communications, Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, also admonished the Labour Party presidential candidate to get his supporters to “desist from spreading lies, malice and denigrating other candidates, especially Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.

“TCO (Tinubu Campaign Organisation) further states that Nigeria will be better for it and the electoral process will be enriched if the 2023 presidential campaign sticks to issues of good governance that will lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty rather than being dominated by the ravings of guttersnipes, who do not wish the country well,” the statement added.

Onanuga noted that the Tinubu Campaign Organisation saw the need to appeal to Obi to rein in his supporters after investigating the origin of the fake report claiming that the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo wrote a letter to Tinubu, asking him to support Obi and take care of his (Tinubu) health.

According to him, the Ghanaian President, via his official Twitter account, has debunked the news as a product of deliberate mischief with the intent to deceive the public.

“I have written no such letter to the APC leader, and it will not occur to me to do so.

“Ghana and Nigeria boast of decades of cordial, strong and brotherly relations, and I am not going to be the one to interfere in the internal affairs and politics of Nigeria,” said President of Ghana via Twitter.

The ‘Biafra fake news site’
Onanuga said: “We have found that the fake news about Akufo-Addo’s letter was first published on June 22 by a rogue platform, whose url reads worlsnews.space (sic) and site identity as World of News.

“A content analysis of the site clearly showed that it is a Biafra news platform. The fake news was reposted on Facebook by Peter Obi Support Group, same day — a clear proof that Biafra campaigners and Peter Obi supporters are the same.

“Both the Facebook account and the website are replete with fake stories about Bola Tinubu, including a fake story credited to former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, alleging that Tinubu demanded N50 billion monthly payment from him.

“The spuriousness of the statement is in the evidence that Lagos did not begin to clock N50 billion revenue until after Ambode left office.

“Tinubu could not have demanded N50 billion monthly payment from Ambode when the state government didn’t make such in a month throughout the tenure of Mr. Ambode.

“The pirate website, which the Facebook account feeds, on also parades malicious fake news and headlines such as “I am old, but my blood is young, please vote for me – Tinubu begs youth” .

“There is also the most wicked of all headlines: ‘When I became president, I will Build more prison (sic) for Igbo’s and IPOB members – Tinubu’.

“The big surprise in all of these is that all the headlines have no supporting stories, and clicking them may bring virus to your computer.

“We have come to a point where it becomes imperative to tell Mr. Obi to show leadership and disavow his supporters, who are employing fake news and disinformation as deliberate tools to deceive and poison the minds of unsuspecting Nigerians,” he added.

Agbadorites and jagabandits accusing Peter Obi of engaging in falsehood and disinformation

When they are in charge of all propaganda machineries dishing out lies and falsehood like the The Nation Lagos-Ibadan expressway propaganda newspaper, TVC, 30k a month social media urchins, fake clergymen etc

Akurakambe:
Tinubu is the architect of fake news and propaganda. Tinubu urchins are rattled by the growing acceptability of Peter Obi and Labour Party by the masses.
God bless Peter Obi the incoming president of Nigeria.

This has not escaped the attention of other Nigerians from Day One and the election result will take care of them as usual.

The D.S.S should investigate if Obi or his associates are the ones funding these ipob terrorist group members as the BBC expose on the group confirm that these liars and bigots are given laptops and regular data to keep the misinformation on. Nairaland itself has a responsibility to identify these category of ipob terrorist group members that have been recruited by or for HE Obi to keep the platform as a cesspool of fake news.

It is the same ipob terrorist group members who are behind all the lies, bigotry and hatred.

A vote for HE Obi is a vote for the ipob terrorist group. A vote for HE Obi is a vote for the same terrorists who denigrated our national flag .

When you vote against HE Obi, you are keeping Nigeria and Nigerians away from the activities of the terrprist group.

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

When APC is acting opposition to a party that has no "structure" then know that they are dead.

They are tired of blaming GEJ. It is now time to shift the blame to Peter Obi.

Tinubu give up already. Your time has passed.
