BEVERLY HILLS, June 20, (THEWILL) – Erstwhile minister of state for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro on Tuesday denied media report of him dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He noted that the rumour of his defection was triggered by his presence at the Town hall meeting organised by the lawmaker representing Lagos Central Senatorial District on the platform of the APC, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
The former Lagos governorship aspirant explained that he only attended the event as a member of the senatorial district to support the “good work” of the wife of APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Obanikoro made the clarification in a series of tweets thus, “As a Constituent of Lagos Central Senatorial District, I today attended Sen. Remi Tinubu’s Townhall Meeting to support her good work.
“My attendance has been insinuated wrongly in the media but all such speculations remain firmly in the realm of rumours and imaginations.
“I commend Sen. Remi Tinubu once again as I continue to consult with my political associates and friends in Lagos, and also across Nigeria.
“Whatever the future holds politically for us, it will be openly done by us and seen by all but right now, please disregard those rumours.”
