The leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) UK Chapter has voiced its opposition to a planned protest in London against President Bola Tinubu, stating that such a move would be ill-advised.
In a statement released on Friday in Lagos, Mr Tunde Doherty, Chairman of the UK chapter of the ruling party and also the APC Committee of Diaspora Chairmen, responded to recent allegations and statements made by a group led by Aisha Yesufu, an activist and supporter of the Labour Party.
According to Doherty, the group intends to stage the protest in London to assert their claims about the president’s educational credentials.
“We have become aware that this group is organizing a protest in London to promote baseless claims about President Bola Tinubu’s educational credentials,” he said.
“We firmly believe it is our duty to address this matter and emphasize the importance of relying on verified facts rather than premature and unsubstantiated allegations.
“President Bola Tinubu, a seasoned and distinguished statesman, has a long and impressive track record of serving our great nation.
“Throughout his career, he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to improving Nigeria and its people.
“The allegations of forged certificates not only lack solid evidence but also undermine the spirit of democracy and fair political discourse that we value,” Doherty added.
