Fake News Alert: Small Alhaji Team Slams “Thugs Disrupted APC Secretariat” Report, Says Story is False

SMALL ALHAJI MEDIA TEAM DEBUNKS ‘THUG DISRUPTION’ CLAIMS, DESCRIBES REPORT AS FALSE AND AI-MANIPULATED

The attention of the media team of Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye (Small Alhaji) has been drawn to a false, reckless and deliberately misleading publication titled “Chaos Rocks Ondo APC Primaries as ‘Small Alhaji’ Allegedly Leads Thugs to Disrupt Process.”

We categorically state that the report is completely baseless, unfounded and a desperate attempt by political detractors to tarnish the hard-earned reputation of Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye, a peaceful democrat and loyal party man who has consistently conducted himself with maturity, responsibility and respect for the democratic process.

For the record, Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye was present at the APC Secretariat strictly on the invitation and directive of the party leadership to continue and conclude the collation process of the primary election. His presence was entirely lawful, peaceful and in line with internal party procedures. It is therefore ridiculous and malicious for anyone to twist his legitimate participation in the process into false allegations of disruption or violence.

At no point did Hon. Adefisoye sponsor, mobilise or lead thugs to disrupt the APC primary process in Akure or anywhere in Ondo State. The allegations contained in the report are built entirely on unverified claims, anonymous sources and hearsay designed to create unnecessary tension within the party and mislead members of the public. It is unfortunate that a media platform would publish such damaging accusations without any form of verification or official confirmation.

We also wish to draw public attention to the fact that the image attached to the publication was clearly AI-generated and deliberately manipulated to mislead readers and create a false narrative. The use of fabricated imagery further exposes the desperation and dishonesty behind the entire report.

Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye remains committed to peace, unity and the progress of the All Progressives Congress (APC). We urge party members, supporters and the general public to disregard the publication in its entirety, as it is nothing more than a calculated smear campaign by desperate individuals threatened by the overwhelming support and acceptance enjoyed by Small Alhaji across the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency.

We also call on the authors and promoters of the fake report to desist from spreading falsehood capable of heating up the polity. Necessary legal steps will be taken against individuals or platforms involved in the deliberate dissemination of defamatory and malicious content against our principal.
