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.”

“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.
