In the two-minute video which went viral on social media, Tinubu and Shettima were seen giving crispy naira notes to a physically challenged man during a meeting with people living with disabilities (PLWLD) in Abuja.
The video sparked negative reactions, with members of the opposition, including former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, and spokesperson of Labour Party presidential candidate, Emeka Obasi, accusing Tinubu of brazen act of corruption.
But, explaining the content of the video, the APC campaign team described as “dishonest, erroneous and incorrect narrative” the claim that it was an act of bribery, whereas Tinubu and Shettima were merely extending a cloak of kindness to the the young man in the video.
