The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has distanced himself from a purported media report, claiming he has been appointed as the political leader in Ondo state by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Tunji-Ojo said there was no iota of truth in the said report that he has been appointed as the leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state and urged the public to disregard the misinformation contained in the viral news article.

Special Adviser to the Minister of Interior on Media and Publicity, Alao Babatunde, in a statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja, said the Minister disassociated and distanced himself from the purported appointment, as it holds no truth whatsoever

The statement read: “It has come to our attention that a news article circulating titled “Tinubu appoints Interior Minister political leader in Ondo,” claiming that the Minister of Interior, Hon. (Dr) Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has been appointed as the political leader in Ondo state by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

We would like to categorically that this report is entirely baseless and fictitious

The Minister of Interior, Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, completely disassociates and distances himself from the purported appointment, as it holds no truth whatsoever.

“There has been no meeting held with all the local government APC chairmen and leaders in Abuja, as alleged in the article.

“While the Minister is aware that the party’s governorship primary election is days away, he has advised aspirants to embrace the spirit of love and sportsmanship.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), as the father of the nation and as the leader of the party, is a democrat whose interest is always to promote unity and peace and would not be involved in any action that will undermine that.

“We urge the public to disregard the misinformation contained in the viral news article and to always rely on credible sources for accurate information,” it stated.
