2023: Fake Tinubu Twitter Account Claims APC Candidate Steps Down For Obi

A Twitter account identified as @officalABqT has claimed that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has withdrawn from the 2023 race.

According to the social media user who claimed that Tinubu had stepped down, added that the APC presidential candidate is supporting the flagbearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi. The Twitter user stated that Tinubu stepped down from the 2023 race because he feels Obi has more offers for Nigerians. The post which has been retweeted more than 1,000 times reads, “After careful observation of the Labour party manifesto I have come to agree that @PeterObi has more to offer Nigeria than I do, I’m hereby stepping down for HE Peter Obi I advice @atiku To do same let give the youths a chance.” The social media user in another post mocked the former Governor of Lagos, adding that Obi should be supported because Tinubu has only “garri, cassava and agbado” to offer. It stated, “I urge the well-meaning Nigerians to vote for HE Peter Obi as the next president because honestly, I don’t have anything to offer than garri cassava and agbado, na mumu go vote for me.” The tweet has steered reactions online with many tagging the account as fake.
