Former Governor of Lagos State and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has described as false, a report that he has purchased a new airplane, saying the said publication was not impartial and objective in its reportage.
In a statement issued Tuesday by the Special Assistant to the former Lagos governor, Ademola Oshodi, the APC leader also faulted the pictures attached to the publication, stressing that they were doctored and not authentic.
“Tinubu has not purchased a new plane. He is currently using the same plane he has used for over a decade now,” he said.
“They would have easily seen that Tinubu’s picture was superimposed to a space he has not been,” Oshodi explained.
To clear all doubts, Tinubu said he had not bought a new plane, adding that a simple investigation would have revealed the correct position.
“But these merchants of fake news are more interested in attacking perceived enemies than in enlightening the public as should be the call of a newspaper,” he said.
