The All Progressives Congress, APC, said its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s comment about Governor Nasir el-Rufai at the Kaduna State Investment Summit on Saturday was slip of tongue.
In a statement, Director, Media and Publicity Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, said while commending, Governor Nasir el-Rufai for his transformational leadership in the state, that Tinubu had a slip of tongue that was common to every human being and even great leaders.
He said the APC leader inadvertently said Governor el-Rufai “turned a rotten situation” he met on ground in Kaduna into “a bad one” whereas he meant to say “to a great one.”
“It was a mere slip, that is not unusual in life, even among leaders of nations.
“We recognise we are in 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,” Onanuga said.
