"The perpetuation of the falsehood that the 2019 election is a two-horse race between the APC and PDP is fake news," he said.
"If you talk to Nigerians on the streets as we do as candidates, you will find out that the vast majority of Nigerians are sick and tired of the recycled and old politicians.
"But a lot of the media organisations are portraying a false narrative and this is very detrimental to democracy. Everyone knows my party, the YPP, is the third force in Nigerian politics today. But if you read the print media, you wouldn't know this."
