Former South-East spokesman for President Bola Tinubu, Dr. Josef Onoh, has distanced the President from comments by All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, which linked the kidnapping of schoolchildren to alleged attempts to stop Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
In a statement issued to journalists on Saturday, Onoh said Tinubu does not share the views expressed by Igbokwe and would never engage in politics at the expense of Nigerians’ lives.
Igbokwe, in a publication that circulated widely, reportedly claimed that the kidnapping of schoolchildren was aimed at preventing President Tinubu from winning the 2027 presidential election, describing such a move as a poor strategy.
