Senator Abu Ibrahim Didn't Organise Any Meeting of Northern Elders for Asíwájú Bola Tinubu

We have seen an untitled, unsigned and absolutely fake post circulating on Whatsapp, alleging that Senator Abu Ibrahim organised a meeting of Northern Elders for Asíwájú Bola Tinubu, where issues of his yet undeclared presidential ambition were discussed.

The viral post claimed that Tinubu at the meeting insisted on picking a Muslim from the North-West as running mate while discontenancing the votes from the South-South and South-East.

Ordinarily, Senator Abu Ibrahim would not have dignified this groundless report with a response, but for fear that some unwary may not see through the mischief intended for an ambition that is yet to be declared, the Senator would like to state as follows:
*That he didn't convene any meeting of Northern elders for Asíwájú Tinubu or for anyone for that matter.
*That no meeting of Northern elders ever took place as claimed. And as an elder in the North, he should know if there would be any such meeting.
*That he has been friends with Asíwájú Tinubu for over 30 years and knows Asíwájú Tinubu well enough to know he would not operate on the basis of religion or ethnicity should he decide to contest for the presidency.
*That Asíwájú Tinubu would not discountenance any region or group of people as the fake post seemed to present him if he decides to throw his hat in the ring.
Asíwájú is a nationalist who has built bridges across the various regions and has friends in equal measure from the South-east and South- South as well as the three geopolitical zones in the North- North-west, North-east and North-central.
*We know those behind the post. While we will refrain from naming them, we will appeal to them to at least wait for the process to begin before they begin their disingenuous campaigns of hate and calumny.
We urge our people to disregard the post for what it is: fake and unfounded.

Okay

He go shock some people

Sorry who is he?

The major instrument the opposition are using against Tinubu is fake news. They are putting so much effort into attacking his image and making him unpopular with the people. Sadly for them, they will fail with their fake news simply because they have no better alternative.

Tinubu is a nationalist with a national appeal. Some of the closest persons to him are not even Yorubas. He’s just passionate about all Nigerians irrespective of religion and ethnic divide. Enough of the fake news.

You have said it all. Tinubu doesn't have a good image. Virtually everything about his past is shrouded in falsehood. His early education, age, parentage, village and sojourn in the USA easily come to mind. There is actually no image to protect.

Kadoso, just because you love and adore this man does not make him anything other than an imaginary president. Stop all this romanticizing. Its not going to be good for your sanity on the long run. Hmm?

You are not being honest about your claim. Remember it was the same style that BAT employed in discrediting GEJ. Don't bother your with the style our politicians employ to win election. After reading Clapping with one hand: State of a Nation. by Wale Oshun, I came to realize that our politicians are all the same. The damage has already been done. Whoever mooted the idea may have used Baba Akande's expositions about how he and BAT cared less about a Muslim-Muslim ticket in a complex nation as ours to a Muslim-Christian ticket preferred by the north in the run up to the 2015 presidential election as a cover to unleash this attack. As for me I find it difficult to understand why this book is being launched now. It may eventually affect BAT's political chances, I may be wrong but time will tell.

An otunba is a media aide to a senator. I thought otunbas are very wealthy people

I knew it was fake news.
