The Director-General of the Tinubu Support Group, TSG, Dr Umar Yakasai, has defended the composition of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, saying individuals under investigation should not be treated as guilty until convicted by a court.
Yakasai, who spoke on Arise Television, also dismissed allegations that the composition of the council was influenced by political patronage or intended to sideline some APC loyalists ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said the list was not final and would be reviewed and expanded to accommodate other party members.
Addressing concerns over the inclusion of individuals being investigated by anti-graft agencies, Yakasai stressed the constitutional principle of presumption of innocence.
