Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu, the daughter of Nigerian nationalist, late Obafemi Awolowo has said she never said that there was an alleged plot to eliminate Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flag-bearer, in the event he wins the 2023 election.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that a blog had reported that Awolowo-Dosunmu alleged that there was a plot to get rid of Tinubu and install his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima as president.
But in a statement on Wednesday, Awolowo Dosunmu, who is the chairperson of the African Newspapers of Nigeria Plc, described the report as “false, mischievous and wicked”, adding that she had not spoken with any journalist on the candidates for the 2023 presidential election.
“I am not in partisan politics and I have not been in partisan politics for decades. I have neither endorsed nor condemned any candidate or party. I have no intention to do so,” she said.
“I refuse to be dragged into a matter I know nothing about. I advise whoever is behind this wicked lie to make better use of their time for the progress and development of our country, Nigeria.”
