The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has described a viral video showing branded wine purportedly produced by its Directorate of Diaspora Affairs as a mischievous campaign stunt created by opposition elements to misinform the public.
Bayo Onanuga, Director of Media and Publicity, APC PCC said this while disassociating the Directorate of Diaspora Affairs from the video.
The APC PCC spokesperson noted that opposition elements were using every means to manipulate the public ahead of the general elections.
According to him, the APC PCC Directorate of Diaspora Affairs was a serious organ of the party`s campaign council and will not engage in such frivolities.
He added that the directorate was led by serious and accomplished Nigerians who would never be insensitive to the plight of compatriots battling naira scarcity to brand wines as campaign souvenirs.
“This is the most ludicrous campaign gimmick; we are not aware of this no-brainer kindergarten stunt, and should not be associated with such crass.
“This is insulting to thousands and millions of Nigerians battling with the scarcity of fuel and cash.
” The directorate is not part of this tragicomedy; this is opposition propaganda to misinform Nigerians.
`We call on our supporters and well-meaning Nigerians who believe in the renewed hope agenda of Sen. Bola Tinubu our presidential candidate to disregard this cheap propaganda,’’ he said
