The All Progressives Congress (APC) UK Chapter has condemned the planned demonstration against President Bola Tinubu in London as a misadventure.
Tunde Doherty, Chairman of the governing party’s UK branch, made the news in a statement published on Friday, November 3, 2023, in Lagos.
Doherty, who also serves as the APC Committee of Diaspora Chairmen, felt obligated to reply to recent claims and assertions made by a group led by Aisha Yesufu, a Labour Party activist and supporter.
This organization has declared plans to hold a rally in London to dispute President Bola Tinubu’s educational qualifications.
“It has come to our attention that this group is organizing a protest in London to spread baseless claims about the educational credentials of President Bola Tinubu.
“We firmly believe our responsibility is to address this matter and underscore the significance of relying on substantiated facts over premature and unsubstantiated allegations,” Doherty stated.
“President Bola Tinubu, a seasoned and distinguished statesman, has a long and illustrious track record of serving our great nation.
“Throughout his career, he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the betterment of Nigeria and its people.
Doherty went on to highlight that the allegations of forged certificates not only lack concrete evidence but also undermine the spirit of democracy and fair political discourse that they hold dear.
