It's not a bribe – APC defends Tinubu over cash gift to elderly man

What happened: Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, came under severe condemnation following a trending video that captured the duo dolling out crispy naira notes to an elderly man at a meeting with people with disabilities in Abuja on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.

The two-minute clip, which has now gone viral, was circulated all over social media with critics and opposition members tagging it as a brazen attempt to induce voters.

Among those who condemned the act were Reno Omokri, a former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan and Emeka Obasi, media aide to Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
