An Adviser on Media, Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council has defended gaffes by Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Recall that Tinubu has been ridiculed on many occasions for his gaffes.

Reacting, Dele Alake said the party’s presidential candidate is human and as such is not immune to gaffes.

Alake also said that Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), respectively, commit gaffes.

He disclosed this on Monday while appearing on the Channels Television’s Politics Today program.

Recall that Tinubu has been recorded to have made some mistakes during speeches at some rallies.

“No human being is immune to gaffes. That does not translate to one’s capacity to rule.

“Asiwaju is a human being like every other person,” he said.

Alake further noted that Obi and Atiku have also made gaffes at rallies while accusing a section of the media of promoting irrelevant issues against Tinubu.
