The APC Presidential Campaign Council has debunked rumour that its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, plans to relocate the capital of Nigeria from Abuja to Lagos.

In a Tuesday statement, the council described the rumour as “insidious campaign in some parts of the country” against Tinubu.

It said the rumour was part of a “multi-pronged desperate campaign of falsehoods” by the “opposition PDP and their surrogate Labour Party”.

The council said that the purveyors of the rumour propagated it “after exhausting their arsenal of calumnies and character assassination” the APC flagbearer.

“In one of the falsehoods being circulated, especially in the North west of the country, Tinubu is said to harbour plans to relocate the Federal Capital from Abuja to Lagos on succeeding President Muhammad Buhari next 29 May.

“The misinformation campaign, according to field reports, is being given some traction by some elders on the payroll of the PDP.

“We are shocked that some people could contrive such egregious lie, all in the name of politics, with the intention to confuse our burgeoning support base in that part of the country.

“Let us say with emphasis, that Asiwaju does not contemplate any such plan and will not do anything that is so ultra-unconstitutional.

“The same purveyors of falsehood have also been distorting the commercialization of NNPC by the APC government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The truth is that Buhari has not privatised NNPC as planned by the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Buhari has instead made it a commercial entity, owned by all the tiers of government, in line with the Petroleum Industry Act.

“In due course, the company will be in a position to declare and share dividends to all its owners, the way Aramco of Saudi Arabia and Petrobas of Brazil do.

“As the destined successor of President Buhari, Asiwaju Tinubu will continue the policy of the Buhari administration. Unlike Atiku, Tinubu has no plan to sell NNPC to his friends or cronies,” the statement read.

Omor like play like play, labour party done come get mouth for naija to the extent that APC and PDP that have been ruling the country for years can't give a statement with mentioning the party. The same labour party that they said it doesn't have structure, but they can't go a day given a statement without mentioning the party.

Omor this Peter Obi race done really give some people sleepless night nor be small o

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will not even win.




Retirement from politics should be his first plan after he is defeated by labour party

I'm still voting him even if he's planning that

His Excellence, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will never do such.

Asiwaju knows the geographical and political importance of Abuja and will retain that status.

These people overrating their importance. Let him win one local government first before aspiring to relocate anything. Rubbish.

There is nothing evil that Tinubu cannot do


For refuting this alone already affirms the notion that he is nursing that idea of relocating the Capital...


He might not relocate it through policies but Bourdillion road will become his Aso Rock because moving between Abuja and Lagos will be tasking for the old man.



But the good news for Tinubu is that he won't be winning next year's election, so his deserved rest at Bourdillion is assured



ObiDatti to the rescue!

Your choice.

If you want your news to sell, you must mention labour party (a party without structure)

Lol. Bold of you to think he understand what you ascribed to him.
