Tinubu: I’ve no plan to marry new wife

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has debunked the reports making the rounds that he has concluded plans to take another wife.

Tinubu described the reports as “fake and groundless”, saying he has no plans to marry another wife, whether a Christian or a Muslim.

The APC presidential flag-bearer said this via a statement issued on Sunday by his media aide, Tunde Rahman.

The statement read: “We have seen a fake news that has gone viral on social media purporting that the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is set to take a new wife.

“This is what it is: a fake and groundless news.

“Asiwaju 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.

“We know the intention of those behind those peddling a new Muslim wife is not only to cause discord within the extremely peaceful family of Tinubu but to also create disaffection within the Christian community.

“Their intention has failed. It will not cut a dice anywhere. We enjoin our people to completely disregard the unfounded news.

“Asiwaju 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,” he noted.
