Pro-Tinubu Group Vows to Counter Misinformation Ahead of 2027

The Asiwaju Media Team, a pro-Tinubu group, has urged political stakeholders to prioritize issue-based campaigns in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections. They warned that they would challenge what they deem false information and misinformation regarding President Bola Tinubu.

The group's Director-General, Prince Emorioloye Owolemi, stated that members in Ondo State have been directed to enhance media engagements to defend Tinubu, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement titled ‘Official statement on media engagement, constructive criticism and the protection of constituted authorities’, Owolemi emphasized the team's commitment to safeguarding the reputation of Tinubu and other APC leaders.

The group will document credible threats or incitements to violence and refer them to law enforcement for investigation. They acknowledged the importance of freedom of expression and constructive criticism, asserting that these rights should be respected regardless of political affiliation.
