The Tinubu Campaign Organization (TCO) has described the viral pictures and video of some clergymen at the unveiling of the All Progressives Congress Vice Presidential candidate in Abuja on Wednesday as unwarranted distractions.
Director, Media & Communication of TCO Bayo Onanuga said the event was an open affair which allowed members of the public to attend including clergymen and some others who are now being derided by those he described as hirelings of the opposition.
According to the statement, the clergymen are not fake, not mechanics or yam sellers as was portrayed in the social media.

He noted that the clergymen are not big names in Christendom yet but gradually building their missions adding that they are church leaders who genuinely believe that Nigerians must eschew politics of hatred and religious bigotry.
The Tinubu Campaign Organisation deplored the twisting of the presence of these men and women in cassocks and the false accusation against the APC candidates, Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima.
The Tinubu Campaign Organisation pledged to focus on core governance issues that affect all Nigerians to confront them and make the desired improvements in the standard of living of the people.
