National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has described as baseless allegations against him, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole; Senator Adamu Aliero and Zamfara State Governor Abdul’Aziz Yari by a group which gave its name as Sokoto State Coalition of PDP supporters. Reacting through statement signed by his Media Office, Tinubu, who described Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State as being behind them, said: “Our attention has been drawn to a partisan advertorial on the 21st March edition of Daily Trust.
“This advertorial, placed by a shadowy organisation calling itself the Sokoto State Coalition of PDP Supporters, bears the logo of PDP National Youth League and is signed by one Engr. Haruna Usman Shagari. “Titled: ‘Inconclusive Gubernatorial Election: Sokoto People Warn Tinubu, Oshiomhole, Yari, Bagudu and others’, the advert makes baseless allegations against Tinubu, Oshiomhole, Aliero and Yari. “It falsely alleges that Asiwaju along with the others met the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, in order to influence the Sokoto State gubernatorial rerun election in favour of APC.
“These allegations by a contrived PDP organ are desperate untruths without a basis in fact. But they are entirely in line with the delusional reactions of PDP to their devastating loss in the presidential elections. “The entire PDP hierarchy has been scared and jumping at their own shadows since the election. They have been seeing phantom conspiracies and imaginary gatherings that make us wonder whether they remain connected to reality.” The statement reads further: “It is a matter of public record that Asiwaju has always been at the forefront of the struggle for electoral reform, a struggle that culminated in the establishment of the Uwais Commission by late President Umaru Yar’adua.”
