Internet search show say no beta media house carry di tori wey di former president tok dat kain tin.
Wen TheCable contact Kehinde Akinyemi, wey dey do tok tok for Obasanjo, im tok say no be true, say di former president no tok dat kain tin.
He con add join say Obasanjo no get Twitter account, say im no even get any social media account sef.
Final tok
Di social media post wey tok say Obasanjo give Peter Obi hand of support no be true. Na fake account post am.
