Bola Tinubu has spoken up about the trending pictures on social media reporting bullion vans loaded with cash seen entering his house on Friday.
The reports broke the internet but Tinubu has claimed that the money was solely for election purposes.
He said it was nobody’s business if he made up his mind to spend his personal money however he pleased, as long as it was not vote-buying.
His words, “Bullion vans? Are those ballot paper?”
“Excuse me, is it my money or government money? I don’t work for government, 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.”
“They should prove it. I am on my own, and I am committed to my party. So, even if I have money to spend in my premises, what is your headache?
“Excuse me, if I don’t represent any agency of government and I have money to spend, if I have money, if I like, I give it to the people free of charge. As long as not to buy votes.
“So, who are those watching my house and looking at Bullion vans? They must be mischief makers, they report falsehood, their lies are numerous, and its because they are jobless.”
