The campaign team of the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Oyo State has explained the circumstances surrounding a viral photograph showing a student sitting on the candidate’s lap.

The photograph, which generated reactions on social media, showed the student sitting beside the APC candidate during a campaign-related engagement.

The campaign team said the incident was taken out of context and that there was no inappropriate intention behind the photograph.

The team explained that the student was among participants at the event and that the moment occurred during an informal interaction.

It urged members of the public to avoid drawing conclusions from the photograph without understanding the circumstances surrounding it.

The campaign team also called for responsible use of social media, particularly during the political season, to prevent misleading interpretations of campaign activities.
