The media aide to the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, Tunde Rahman, says there was no meeting between his principal and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike in France.
Media reports quoting APC chieftain and Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Drainage and Water Resources, Mr Joe Igbokwe, claimed that Wike visited Tinubu in France.
However, in a statement, Rahman denied that such meeting took place.
He said, “We have seen a viral social media post made by one of the chieftains of All Progressives Congress in Lagos State and media reports emanating from same about a supposed meeting in France between APC presidential standard-bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
“It has become imperative to set the record straight. Although Asiwaju Tinubu is presently in France, he didn’t have any meeting with Governor Wike whether in that country or anywhere whatsoever.
“This, however, does not detract from the fact that the APC presidential candidate holds Governor Wike in high esteem. And given the national and across-party lines appeal of Asiwaju Tinubu’s candidature, he will not hesitate to meet any important national leader when desirable.”
