* Says: I’ve no idea if he is in Nigeria or abroad
The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday, refused to be drawn into the conversation on the whereabouts of the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
There were reports that Tinubu travelled with his running mate Kashim Shettima, to the United Kingdom earlier in the week, for a meeting with political associates.
Oshiomhole, who featured on a Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today, on Wednesday night, said he does not know if the APC presidential candidate is currently in Nigeria or outside the country.
Oshiomhole said although he is the Deputy Director-General of Tinubu’s campaign team, he does not report to him (Tinubu) on a daily basis, and therefore cannot say anything on his whereabouts.
He said: “I don’t report to him every day. So I’m not sure if he’s around or not. That will be when the campaign council is inaugurated and my office is activated. That has not been done yet.
“We are yet to inaugurate our campaign council because the Chairman, President Muhammadu Buhari, was away in New York.”
