APC Accuses PDP of Masterminding Fake News Against Tinubu
Meanwhile, the APC has raised the alarm over fake news content on social media aimed at casting aspersions on its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
The campaign team of the ruling party said the PDP was responsible for spreading false narratives against Tinubu.
The party called on Nigerians to be wary of misinformation aimed at rubbishing its presidential candidate ahead of the elections.
Tinubu accuses PDP of sabotaging fuel supply to blackmail Buhari's govt
Similarly, Tinubu accused the PDP of sabotaging the fuel supply in the country to blackmail the federal government for illicit political advantage.
Tinubu said this in Makurdi, the Benue state capital, to a multitude of party faithful who graced the APC presidential campaign rally recently.
He said the PDP administration gave fuel retail licenses to their supporters and sympathisers who hoard fuel to create long queues across the country to make the APC-led government look incompetent.
