The Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Party (APC) has launched a propaganda to refute the visit of officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) polling unit 085, ward F, Alausa, Ikeja in Lagos State.
This is the same polling unit where the presidential candidate of the party Bola Ahmed Tinubu cast his vote at 11:05am, even though he had voted at polling unit 047 also in Alausa Ikeja during the 2019 general election.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that a team of officials from the EFCC stormed both polling units on Saturday morning after operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Commission recovered N32.4 million allegedly meant for vote buying on the eve of the election.
The EFCC operatives arrived PU085 at about 9am wearing vests branded with the Commission’s logo and acronym in the full glare of journalists, observers and voters and left after a brief inspection of the venue.
However, in an attempt to twist facts, the APC has now branded reports of the visit as “fake news” and urged the public to disregard it.
“Please disregard the fake news that there are EFCC agents at Tinubu’s polling unit,” the APC said via its Presidential Campaign Council twitter handle.
VERDICT: Officials of the EFCC visited PU 085 ward F early on Saturday morning prior to Tinubu’s arrival. The APC presidential aspirant along with his wife Remi, cast his vote at the same polling unit at 11: 05am.
