Tinubu also reacted to reports on the absence of APC governors at the inaugural meeting of the presidential campaign council, also dismissing it as fake news.
He said: “The point is, the governors had to stay back because we all don’t have to converge in one place to decide certain modalities when we can easily go back to them on what was discussed and what we expect from your state. That is what we call structuring in an election."
