"Bullion trucks? "Are those voting papers?" Excuse me, is this your money or the government's? "I do not work for the government," Mr Tinubu stated.
Ayodele Adewale, the APC's organising secretary, has claimed that the bullion vans seen driving into Bola Tinubu's residence on the eve of the 2019 presidential election "missed its way there."
"That bullion van missed its way there, and it was not invited by Asiwaju or anyone," Mr Adewale said on Arise TV Thursday morning.
In contrast to Mr. Tinubu's claims, who acknowledged that the bullion vans he had parked in his Bourdillon home on election night did indeed contain money and not ballots as his opponents had claimed, the statement contradicts Mr. Tinubu's claims.
In 2019, Mr. Tinubu, the ruling party's presidential candidate for the February 25 election, told reporters that he was free to bring his money to his home.
Bullion vans? Are those ballot papers?
“Excuse me, is it my money or government money? I don’t work for government,” Mr Tinubu had stated. “I am not in (any) agency of government. Let anybody come out to say I have taken any contract from the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last five years."
He added, “They should prove it. I am on my own, and I am committed to my party. So, even if I have money to spend on my premises. What is your headache?”
Mr Adewale, however, insisted that the former Lagos governor was joking when he made the statement.
