Bola Tinubu
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that he makes money from real estate and not from Lagos revenue as he is being accused.
Tinubu told the BBC in an interview published on Tuesday that those behind the allegation were only envious of him.
“Hey, excuse me, share, what? Have they proven it? The World Bank, (and) the International Monetary Fund have investigated the records in Lagos State. What’s wrong with them? It’s envy, envy, envy,” he said.
The former Lagos State governor said he got his wealth through investments in real estate which he inherited and turned their values around.
“I inherited great real estates. I turned the values around. I’m not denying my wealth. I’ve not been… I was the most investigated, the most accused governor in opposition up to, you know, for eight years and up to 2007.
“And since I left the office, I’m still there, I’ve not taken any government appointment, no government contract,” he said.
Tinubu further said he would focus on security and economic recovery if elected.
He defended President Muhammadu Buhari on the latter’s decisions on insecurity.
