The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Ibrahim Shettima Presidential Campaign Council has described it as a mere “slip of the tongue that is common to every human being and even great leaders” a statement credited to the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential standard-bearer.
Mr Tinubu had on Saturday at the Kaduna State Investment Summit while commending, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State for his transformational leadership in the state said he (El-Rufai) “turned a rotten situation” he met on ground in Kaduna into “a bad one.
The “slip” has generated a lot of buzz, particularly on social media with some insisting that it only lay credence to the fact that the APC candidate is old and may be unfit for the office of President and Commander-in-Chief of the country’s Armed Forces.
But the APC PCC wouldn’t have any of such it, in a statement by its Director, Media and Publicity, Mr Bayo Onanuga, maintaining that it was an inadvertent error not uncommon with great leaders.
“We recognise we are in a political season where everything is latched on for deliberate distortion and twisted mischief.
“While mischief makers went so low, we noted that the audience at KadInvest 7.0 followed Asiwaju Tinubu with rapt attention and knew he only had a slip.
“We can only tell mischief makers to look for better and productive things to do with their time”, Mr Onanuga stated.
