Tokunbo Awolowo Dosunmu, executive director of the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation, has debunked reports claiming she said there is a plot to get rid of Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Reports had surfaced online that Awolowo Dosunmu, who is the daughter
of late Obafemi Awolowo, had said there is a plot to get rid of Tinubu
and install Kashim Shettima, his running mate, as president.

The reports also claimed that she said the plot would be executed
immediately after the swearing-in, and that those behind it would take
advantage of Tinubu’s “medical condition”.

But in a statement on Wednesday, Awolowo Dosunmu, who is also the
chairperson, 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
She, therefore, asked the public to disregard the report.

“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.”
Awolowo Dosunmu also appealed to Nigerians to help the country in
every way they can to get through the trying times.
