Tinubu Must Apologise To Nigerians Over False Claim On Obama's Invitation-PDP

SAN FRANCISCO, September 11, (THEWILL) – On behalf of Nigerians, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southwest has demanded an apology from leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for bringing the country into disrepute by lying that he was specially invited to attend the convention of United States’ Democratic Party.

In a reaction to claims by the ACN that PDP was on a smear campaign against Tinubu, PDP’s national vice chairman (southwest), Chief Segun Oni's media aide, Lere Olayinka, said the ACN should rather advise Tinubu to go for deliverance for him to be purged of the spirit of lies that has made him lie about everything, including his paternity.

“For those of us that went to proper schools, there was this story called 'puro kin niyi, ete nii muwa' (if you tell lie to be acknowledged, you will be disgraced ultimately). That is exactly what is confronting Tinubu now,” he mocked.

“Or was it PDP that made Tinubu, in his characteristic manner, to lie that he was invited and given a 'Gold Card' to attend the Democratic Party’s convention when in actual fact, he bought his invitation with $5,000?

“Was it PDP that made Tinubu to lie that he attended Government College, Ibadan, which he never attended? Now that Tinubu is being faced with the consequences of his world of lies, is it PDP that must be blamed?”

Olayinka added that “the most honourable thing for these fraudulent elements in the ACN to do is to own up to the fake personality that Tinubu, their leader has become, and apologise to Nigerians for ridiculing the country with their lies of Tinubu's invitation by Obama.”
