FCT, Abuja - The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has denied any reported frosty relationship between its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu over composition of its 2023 campaign council.
The party clarification is on the heels of a media report that the ruling party has been unable to unveil the full list of members of the presidential campaign council as a result of power tussle between the duo.

Tinubu had recently announced Plateau state governor, Simon Lalong and minister of state, labour and employment Festus Keyamo as director general and spokesman of the presidential campaign council.
