Post created on 5:07 pm

The BBC has been petitioned by the Peoples Democratic Party and Atiku Abubakar over the report made concerning the certificate of President Bola Tinubu.

This was made known by Phrank Shaibu a special assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 election, on Channels TV politics today.

Shaibu said the matter has been taken up with BBC’s top management.

“When they said a report by the BBC, I laughed at the level of pedestrianism. The three young people who wrote that report are not even in the employment of the BBC. They are just like a fact-checking team. Let me take one of the authors of that report, Olaronke Alo. As of 2019, he was a reporter and presenter at TVC owned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We don’t need the services of a clairvoyant to know how the stories were put together. The first paragraph will tell you they got the true certified copy of the position from Frank Shaibu. One of the reporters asked me for it and I sent it to her.

“The same report claims that when they tried to reach the Atiku media team, we did not respond. This we have taken up with the top management and we have written a petition to the BBC because they allowed their platform to be used for a hatched job like this,” he said.
