Viral video: I’m not behind distribution of rice – Tinubu
By Oluwatope Lawanson
National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Bola Tinubu, has denied distributing bags of rice across parts of the Northern States of Nigeria.
Tinubu stated this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and signed by his Media Aide, Mr Tunde Rahman, on Friday, in Lagos.
NAN reports that a viral video of images depicting the face of APC leader on bags of rice was recently being circulated on some social media platforms.
According to him, “We have seen the images being circulated of bags of rice depicting Asiwaju’s face being distributed across parts of the North.
The former governor of Lagos said he was not responsible for this initiative.
He, however, commended the efforts of the various groups for their benevolence.
“I am not responsible for this initiative but l commend the efforts of the various volunteer groups responsible for this benign act of charity and love for one another, particularly in this Holy month of Ramadan”.
