Tinubu Unfit To Accuse Us Of Falsifying Documents – Labour Party Fires APC

The Labour Party (LP) has distanced itself from claims by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) that it was responsible for the alleged forgery of the letterhead of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Labour Party asked the ruling party to look within its rank for those responsible for the forgery.

Naija News recalls that a document with the letterhead of the INEC surfaced on on social media platforms on Friday, which claimed that the electoral agency is investigating a drug case in the United States involving Tinubu.

However, following the release of the document, INEC denied that it is investigating the APC presidential candidate.

In a statement on Sunday, the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga accused the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party of sponsoring fake news against Tinubu.

Onanuga said the PDP and the LP have realised they have no sure path to victory in the February 2023 presidential electio, hence their campaign of calumny, disinformation and misinformation.

But in an interview with Vanguard on Sunday, the Chief spokesperson of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Dr. Yunusa Tanko noted that it was depressing that a party whose candidate has issues with records has the effrontery to accuse innocent people of doing the same.

He warned the APC Campaign to desist from dragging it into its sinking campaign with baseless allegations.

Yunusa said, “It is on record that our presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has never falsified any record about his age, his academic credentials, or had cause to deny his place or birth or his parents.

“It is inconceivable for a presidential campaign whose candidate has been unable to come clean about his background to accuse us of conniving with another opposition party to falsify documents.

“Our advice to the APC is for it to face issues and stop diverting attention.”
