All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has debunked rumour the party’s flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, intends to relocate the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) from Abuja to Lagos if elected.

The council said the falsehood being spread by the opposition was in continuation of their campaign of calumny and character assassination of the former Lagos Governor.

A statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the campaign council, Bayo Onanuga stressed “Asiwaju does not contemplate any such plan and will not do anything that is so ultra-unconstitutional.”

The statement reads: “The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council hereby alerts Nigerians about the latest insidious campaign in some parts of the country against our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“After exhausting their arsenal of calumnies and character assassination against Tinubu, the opposition PDP and their surrogate Labour Party have begun a multi-pronged desperate campaign of falsehoods.

“In one of the falsehoods being circulated, especially in the North West of the country, Tinubu is id to harbour plans to relocate the Federal Capital from Abuja to Lagos on succeeding President Muhammad Buhari from 29th May 2023.

“This misinformation campaign, according to field reports, is being given some traction by some elders on the payroll of the Peoples Democratic Party.

“We are shocked that some people could contrive such an egregious lie, all in the name of politics, to confuse our burgeoning support base in that part of the country.

“Let us say with emphasis, that Asiwaju does not contemplate any such plan and will not do anything that is so ultra-unconstitutional.”
