Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has strengthened his media office with the injection of two new aides.

A statement at the weekend by the Tinubu Media Office signed by Mr. Tunde Rahman said the two appointees would deploy their expertise and deep understanding of political issues across the country particularly the North in shoring up the activities of the media team.

Following his stint as a lecturer in Biological Sciences at his alma mater, the Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto, Jega has
