Awolowo Dosumu Denies Speaking on Tinubu/Shettima Ticket

Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu, daughter of the late politician, Obafemi Awolowo, has denied saying there is a plot to remove Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, if he wins the 2023 election.

The report being circulated online falsely quoted her as warning the Yoruba of a plot to get rid of Tinubu in favour of Kashima Shettima if APC wins the 2023 presidential election.

However, Awolowo-Dosunmu, who is the executive director of Obafemi Awolowo Foundation and Chairman, African Newspapers of Nigeria Plc., said that she had not spoken with any journalist in recent times on any matter whatsoever, including the 2023 presidential election and the candidates thereof.

“I am not in partisan politics and I have not been in partisan politics for decades,” Awolowo-Dosunmu said in a statement on Wednesday.

“I have neither endorsed nor condemned any candidate or party. I have no intention to do so. 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.”

Awolowo-Dosunmu, however, urged Nigerians and the entire world to assist Nigeria in navigating through these trying times.
