Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, said there had been no meeting between him and Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike in France.
Tinubu had recently flown to the European nation to continue high-level engagements with stakeholders.
However, an APC chief in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, claimed that there was a meeting between the duo.
On Friday evening, in a statement signed by Tunde Rahman, the Tinubu Media Office said such a meeting never took place, although the APC flag-bearer held Wike in high esteem.
Part of the statement reads: “We have seen a viral social media post made by one of the chieftains of All Progressives Congress in Lagos State and media reports emanating from same about a supposed meeting in France between APC Presidential Standard-bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
“It has become imperative to set the record straight. Although Asiwaju Tinubu is currently in France, he has not met Governor Wike in that country or anywhere whatsoever.
"However, that doesn't change the fact that the APC presidential candidate holds Governor Wike in high esteem.
