The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Sunday, dispelled rumours doing the rounds that he was planning to marry a second wife.
He said the reports were nothing but “fake news”.
Tinubu said that he was enjoying his marriage to his only wife, Senator Oluremi.
His spokesperson, Tunde Rahman, disclosed this in a statement entitled, “Stop the Fake News: Asíwájú Tinubu is not taking a new wife.”
Read him: “We have seen fake news that has gone viral on social media purporting that the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is set to take a new wife.
“This is what it is: fake and groundless news.
“HE Asíwájú is enjoying his marriage to his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, which is blessed with excellent children. He is not ready to take an additional wife, whether a Christian or a Muslim.”
The statement from Tinubu’s Media Office, signed by Rahman, further said: “the intention behind those peddling a new Muslim wife is not only to cause discord within the extremely peaceful family of Asíwájú Tinubu but to also create disaffection within the Christian community.
“Their intention has failed. It will not cut a dice anywhere.”
The statement enjoined Nigerians to completely disregard the unfounded news.
According to the statement: “Asíwájú Tinubu is at present focused on his campaign to emerge the president of this country come February 25, 2023, in order to rekindle the hope of our people in a better, stronger, more secure and prosperous Nigeria.
“Senator Oluremi Tinubu is also busy traversing the length and breadth of the country canvassing support for her husband. They will not be distracted by this baseless news.”
