The ruling All Progressives Congress United Kingdom (UK) chapter has reacted to a planned protest against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in London describing it as a misadventure.
The Chairman of the UK chapter of the party, Tunde Doherty said this in a press statement issued on Friday in Lagos.
Doherty, who also serves as the chair of the APC Committee of Diaspora, stated that he was obliged to react to the recent claims and declarations made by a group headed by activist and Labour Party supporter Aisha Yesufu.
He stated that the group was planning to stage the protest in London to propagate their claims about the educational credentials of the president.
“It has come to our attention that this group is organising a protest in London to propagate unfounded 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.
“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.
“The allegations of forged certificates not only lack concrete evidence but also undermine the spirit of democracy and fair political discourse that we hold dear,” Doherty said.
The issue of forged certificate reached its crescendo when PDP candidate in the last election successfully got a court judgment handing him copies of president Tinubu’s credentials as he seeks to overturn Tinubu’s election victory.
However the Supreme Court failed to admit the fresh evidence and uphelp the victory of Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election.
