…says it is the handiwork of mischief makers

Tunde Ayeni, has reacted to a false online publication that he was headed for Dubai, United Arab Emirate, for some alleged meeting in the company of the EFCC Chairman, Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa.

The fake report had alleged that the said meeting was to promote what it described as Tunde Ayeni’s “2023 political interests.”

But in a press release by Ademola Adedoyin, media Advisor to Tunde Ayeni, nothing could be farther from the truth than the report.

He said: “So many high networth individuals have become victims of fake news in recent times, so we have taken this as one of the hazards of being in the public glare.”

“Dr Tunde Ayeni is in Abuja, carrying on with his legitimate business activities with no immediate plans to embark on any trip to Dubai or any other country at that for now.

“Of course, as an international businessman, if there’s any reason for him to travel, he will do so as a free citizen of this country.

Dr Ayeni remains unperturbed by all the futile efforts by his detractors and mischief makers to smear his reputation as he remains focused on his daily pursuit of contributing his quota to the nation’s economic growth and development, ” the release concluded.
