The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has debunked releasing his manifesto to Nigerians ahead of the 2023 general election.
Tinubu, a two-term former governor of Lagos State, said the manifesto being shared mostly via WhatsApp and Facebook is not his official campaign manifesto.
The APC presidential candidate made this known via a statement issued and made available to The Star on Sunday by the Director of Media and Communication of Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga stated that the manifesto in circulation was prepared by some senior associates of the APC presidential candidate, adding that the manifesto was a private initiative, which Tinubu has not personally endorsed and accepted.
He said: “I want to place it on record that the manifesto being circulated via social media platforms and already published by a section of the mainstream media is not the official Manifesto of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and All Progressives Congress for the 2023 general election.

“While our presidential candidate appreciates the spirit and efforts of his associates that produced the document being passed around mostly on WhatsApp, we want to clearly state that the document is an unofficial document and Tinubu can not be held accountable on any of the issues raised in the document.
“The presidential candidate and APC are currently working on an all-embracing manifesto that will inspire the confidence of Nigerians. When the official policy document of Tinubu is ready it will be formally presented to Nigerians and our candidate will be in a position to defend every word that will be contained therein.
“We appreciate the interest and enthusiasm of Nigerians to know about the programmes and policy options Asiwaju Tinubu will pursue in government when elected.
“He is a tested and experienced leader who will bring his knowledge and expertise to run a government that will meet the aspiration and yearnings of our people across every sector,” the statement partly read.
