National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has described those who question his visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in London last week as crazy.
Some reports had claimed the reported visit was false, saying pictures of Buhari, Tinubu and former National Chairman of APC, Bisi Akande, were doctored.
In a statement on Monday, Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, said mischief makers were behind the news that he did not visit the President.
The statement, signed by his spokesperson, Tunde Rahman, insisted Tinubu was in London with Akande, also a former governor of Osun State.
Rahman said the two met the President at the Abuja House.
The statement reads in full: “The report about the so-called denial of the visit is the handiwork of mischief- makers.
“I felt we should not dignify that with a response.
“That report beggars belief.
“Asiwaju Tinubu and Baba Akande were in London.
“The reason they travelled to the United Kingdom was to see President Buhari.
“And they visited him last Thursday and held discussions with him at the Abuja House in London.
“After the visit, the President, as a mark of respect, saw off his guests to the door.
“Pictures were taken during and after the visit and released to the media by The Presidency.
“These pictures were international headlines.
“How can anybody in his or her right senses be saying there was no such visit?
“It’s simply crazy! I can’t just get it.”
