The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) has denied media reports that President-elect, Bola Tinubu, wrote a letter to a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George.
TrackNews reports that a letter that has been circulating on social media was said to have been written by Tinubu to George on Wednesday.
Tinubu, in the purported letter, pleaded with George not to proceed on self-exile or political retirement after his emergence as the president-elect.
In the letter, Tinubu was said to have assured the former National Vice Chairman of the PDP that he would not be victimized for not supporting him.
“I hope you find it within yourself to stay and be a part of Nigeria’s hopeful future.
“However, if you feel that you do not want to live in the new Nigeria, nobody, least of all me, can force you to remain here,” part of the letter in circulation reads.
But in a statement on Wednesday, the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC PCC, Bayo Onanuga, stated that Tinubu did not issue any statement on George.
Onanuga added that the viral statement in circulation purportedly signed by his principal is fake.
He wrote: “The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, did not issue any statement on Bode George.
“The viral statement in circulation purportedly signed by him is FAKE.”
