Tinubu’s Documentary: Did APC Campaign Apologise To Donald Duke? – Fresh Details Emerge
The presidential campaign council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied reports that it apologized to former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke, for the wrongful use of his image in a recent documentary of its presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Duke recently chastised the APC for using his image in Tinubu’s documentary at a roundtable with editors organized by the Front Fort Media Initiative and the MacArthur Foundation in Lagos.
The former Cross River governor claimed that the APC and its campaign team used his 12-year-old photograph as Tinubu’s in a documentary titled ‘The Nation Builder.’
A statement purportedly issued yesterday by the director, Media & Publicity, of the APC presidential campaign council, Bayo Onanuga, had said the use of Duke’s photo was “an honest mistake for which all involved have accepted responsibility.”

However, the APC presidential campaign council issued a statement last night denying the earlier statement, calling it a hoax intended to confuse and mislead the public.
“Our attention has been drawn to a press statement currently in circulation credited to the Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga,” Onanuga said in the statement.
“In the said statement, Mr. Onanuga was reported to have apologised to Mr. Donald Duke for an error in the use of his picture in a documentary on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“We want to categorically state that the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council did not authorise the said statement and Mr. Onanuga didn’t issue any statement on behalf of the campaign council and our principal, Asiwaju Tinubu today.
“We urge the media and members of the public to disregard the statement as a fake news designed to create confusion and mislead the public.”
