The standard-bearer of the All progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has been under fire in recent times over an old newspaper publication in which he was quoted as saying: ‘I don’t believe in one Nigeria’.

This has generated a lot of reactions on social media, with many wondering how an individual who does not believe in one Nigeria would want to be its President.

The copy of an old newspaper where he (Tinubu) made the statement has been circulating on WhatsApp and other social networking sites since the former governor declared his intention to run for president in 2023.
