The media office of former Lagos State Governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday distanced the APC presidential aspirant from a poster depicting Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as the biblical ‘Judas Iscariot’
Mega Icon Magazine recalled that a poster comparing Osinbajo to Judas, accusing him of ‘betrayal’ was widely circulated on social media platforms after the Vice President declared his intention to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Osinbajo had served as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 while Tinubu was governor.
Tinubu, alongside Osinbajo, and other aspirants, are in the race for the ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the 2023 presidential election.
The media office, in a statement alleged that the sponsors of the poster intend to provoke anger against the person and aspiration of the former governor.
It declared that their campaign has failed, describing it as irresponsible and insensitive political propaganda seeking to exploit religious sentiments to manipulate public perception against the APC chieftain.
The statement further noted that Tinubu is married to not just a Christian but an ordained pastor, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
It stressed that the former governor has developed a very deep fraternal relationship with Christendom at all levels, saying it was a fact acknowledged by many bishops, pastors, and parishioners.
