Businessman and lawyer, Tunde Ayeni has discredited an online publication that he was headed for Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for a meeting in the company of chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa.
The false report had alleged that Ayeni was heading to Dubai to promote what it described as his “2023 political interests.”
According to a press release on Friday by Ademola Adedoyin, media advisor to Ayeni, nothing could be farther from the truth than the report.

He said: “So many high net worth individuals have become victims of fake news in recent times, so we have taken this as one of the hazards of being in the public glare.
“Dr Tunde Ayeni is in Abuja, carrying on with his legitimate business activities with no immediate plans to embark on any trip to Dubai or any other country at that for now.
“Of course, as an international businessman, if there’s any reason for him to travel, he will do so as a free citizen of this country.”
The release concluded, “Dr Ayeni remains unperturbed by all the futile efforts by his detractors and mischief makers to smear his reputation as he remains focused on his daily pursuit of contributing his quota to the nation’s economic growth and development.”
