The Director of Media and Publicity for All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, has described the endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, by the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, as a ruse.

“Peter Obi is the person of Igbo extraction that Afenifere has decided to support and back; he is the man we trust to restructure the country back to federalism on the assumption of office.”

Following the endorsement, a report by an online media stated that the endorsement by Afenifere had created a divide in the South-West which is the stronghold of the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Reacting, Onanuga, in a terse statement on Facebook, described the report as false, adding that Afenifere’s endorsement of the Labour Party presidential candidate was done by one man with no electoral value.

He said, “This story is not true. There is no division in the South-West over Tinubu’s candidacy. The Afenifere endorsement of LP’s candidate is a ruse. It was an endorsement by one man with no electoral value, either in his Ijebu Ogbo village or Lagos.”All rights reserved.

What it means is that officialABAT has no credibility to seek office of the president in the first instance.
