All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu has denied having a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden.
The picture of the APC presidential candidate and Biden was taken in the US instantly went viral online.
However, Tinubu asserts that the popular photograph of him and Biden is a hoax.
He asserted that those who distributed the image were Peter Obi's Labour Party (LP) backers, who is running for president.
Through the Director of Media and Publicity for the APC PCC, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu asserted that the image that went viral had been altered by Obi's supporters.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Onanuga said, “A viral photograph showing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and U.S. President, Joe Biden, in talks at the White House is the latest in the series of misinformation being dished out by the political opposition.”
“We cannot just fathom the purpose of the mischief and the falsehood which emanated from the rabid followers of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.
“The apparently photoshopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju will embark on a foreign trip this weekend.”
According to Onanuga, Tinubu is in Abuja and not the United States.
However, he confirmed that the APC presidential candidate would be visiting the United States this weekend.
He mentioned that Tinubu was scheduled to go to Bayelsa on Thursday for a rally.
Tinubu’s campaign announced that his first stop would be at London’s Chatham House, where he would present his “Action Plan for Nigeria.”
