Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who is the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has dissociated himself from the viral rumours making rounds about his 2023 campaign manifesto.
Tinubu stated that the circulating document was not his campaign agenda for 2023 and that he did not acknowledge it.
He added that the document was just a draught plan with recommendations for projects he should execute if elected President.

Tinubu’s defiance was contained in a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, the Tinubu Campaign Organization’s Director of Media and Communications, on Sunday.
He pledged that his manifesto would be more serious than the one now being disseminated.
Tinubu stated that when his manifesto is complete, he will deliver it to Nigerians.
Part of the statement is as follows:: “I want to place it on record that the manifesto being circulated via social media platforms and already published by a section of the mainstream media is not the official manifesto of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and APC for the 2023 general elections.
‘We want to clearly state that the document is an unofficial document and Tinubu cannot be held accountable on any of the issues raised in the document.’
‘The presidential candidate and APC are currently working on an all-embracing manifesto that will inspire the confidence of Nigerians.’
‘When the official policy document of Tinubu is ready, it will be formally presented to Nigerians and our candidate will be in a position to defend every word that will be contained therein.’
Tinub was announced as the APC presidential candidate last week after dominating the party’s primary poll by a landslide.
