The All Progressives Congress, APC held its campaign rally in Kano state yesterday. The vice-presidential candidate, Prof Yemi Osinbajo then took to twitter to share the photo below showing a real huge, massive crowd, saying it was the crowd waiting to receive the APC campaign team in Kano.
The photo immediately sparked controversy on social media as some Nigerians lambasted him, saying he was lying for using a photo from Reinhard Bonke’s crusade and calling it the APC Crowd.
Some were disappointed that he had joined in the lies of politicians.
Realising he had made a mistake, the professor took to twitter once again to defend himself and correct the impression that he had joined in lying.
According to him, the photo was sent by fellow Nigerians and he assumed it was from the rally.
To further redeem himself, he now shared real photos from the campaign rally to prove that a huge crowd really turned out and the people of Kano love the APC.
The APC presidential campaign train also stormed Jigawa State yesterday ahead of the February 14 poll. Though the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has a majority of supporters in this state, the APC was received by a large crowd.
