APC accuses of OBI-dients of spreading fake news
Onanuga however accused the followers of Tinubu's counterpart, Peter Obi as the perpetrators of flying the fake photos on the internet.
He said:
"We cannot just fathom the purpose of the mischief and the falsehood, which emanated from the rabid followers of Peter Obi.
"The apparently photo-shopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju Tinubu will embark on a foreign trip this weekend."

He further disclosed that Tinubu will not be leaving the country until the weekend while he is scheduled to be in Bayelsa on Thursday, December 1 as stipulated in the campaign calendar of the party.
