The Director-General of the Oyo State Allied Peoples Movement (APM) Governorship Campaign Council, Dr. Nureni Adeniran has criticised what he described as attempts by opposition elements to misrepresent the massive turnout recorded at the party’s campaign flag-off in Oyo town, insisting that the pictures and videos from the event tell a different story.
Reacting to reports suggesting a poor turnout at the campaign event, the APM Campaign DG described the narrative as misleading, arguing that it failed to reflect the large crowd, enthusiasm and participation witnessed at the historic gathering.
According to him, the massive presence of party faithful, supporters and other participants at the flag-off was evident for all to see, making attempts to portray the event as poorly attended a misrepresentation of what actually transpired.
He further expressed concern over what he characterised as a recurring pattern of misinformation, accusing opposition elements of resorting to misleading narratives whenever events do not align with their preferred political interpretation.
The Campaign DG maintained that political engagement should be driven by issues, ideas, policies and constructive conversations about the future of the people rather than controversies surrounding the portrayal of campaign events.
He said he remained encouraged by the enthusiasm, commitment and participation demonstrated by APM supporters across the state, adding that the campaign council would continue to focus on its engagements with the people of Oyo State.
He emphasised that the people deserved issue-based political conversations and accurate information rather than competing narratives designed to shape public perception.
“The pictures speak louder than their lies,” he declared, reaffirming his confidence in the commitment and participation witnessed at the campaign flag-off.
He concluded by restating the party’s message and political slogan:
APM – RESET NIGERIA. NIGERIA FIRST!
