Tinubu: I Never Said I Spent N35 Billion On Buhari’s Elections
Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has denied saying he spent N35 billion on the elections of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019.
A report had quoted Tinubu as expressing regrets that he spent heavily on the president.
The report said while having a discussion with Bisi Akande, former interim chairman of the APC, on the dissolution of the national working committee of the ruling party, Tinubu accused the president of betraying him.
But in a statement Tunde Rahman, his spokesman, issued on his behalf, the APC national leader dismissed the claims.
“The authors of the libelous report claimed Asiwaju made the allegation in a discussion with former APC Interim Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande,” the statement read.
“Firstly, no one person elected President Buhari. He was elected by the generality of Nigerian electorate. Asiwaju Tinubu would not arrogate you himself the commendable decision taken by the people. Also, that outlandish claim only existed in the imagination of the authors of the story.
“Asiwaju rooted for President Buhari’s election and in 2015 and re-election in 2019 along with other right-thinking political leaders and teeming members of APC and Nigerians across the country.
“He has no reason to regret the rightful decision or describe President Buhari as ‘ungrateful’. He remains steadfast in his support for the president and the programmes and policies of his administration as he has always been.
“Nothing has occurred to warrant any change of heart.”
The statement said since reference was made to how Akinwunmi Ambode, a former governor of Lagos, could not secure another term, it is possible that those behind the report “betrayed where they came from”.
“The report linked recent developments in APC to the fate suffered by former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in the 2019 governorship race in Lagos State, perhaps betraying where the authors were coming from,” the statement read.
“Asiwaju has put the events of 2019 behind him. He has moved on. Indeed, Lagos has moved on. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is providing good, purposeful and responsible leadership. Lagosian are enjoying the fruits of good governance under the able and dynamic governor Sanwo-Olu.
“Asiwaju and governor Sanwo-Olu have the best of relationships, contrary to the impression the report sought to create.”

Tinubu is not daft to make the kind of statement the fake news blog earlier carried. He has been in Nigeria politics for long to know how to be diplomatic in the face of disappointing events. Only beer parlour pundits would have swallowed such news that Tinubu will speak like that MURIC Akintola

I know he’s seriously pained now, and I will advise him to remain quiet in his Internally Displaced Camp were relief materials will be sent to him for survival.

He may not have said it exactly the way the medium reported it,but may have either inferred it or made it in an off cuff moment.
The fact is governments in this part of the world are way too powerful,even if headed by a dunce.
The aides of a dunce president,as Tinubu knows,may just use the offices of the EFCC,ICPC,or even FIRS,to either cripple Tinubu or even send him to prison,on easily proven allegations.
He is just being smart about the dangerous position he finds himself in.

I agree with you on that. I hate the Tinubu and I’m happy he’s been served what he deserves. But then he certainly not the kind politician that talks that way. If to say ha Osho, I for they very sure say he talk am. Osho can talk anyhow but not Tinubu.

That is why he landed himself in trouble when he started calling himself “The APC national leader” knowing that he only contributed in South West.
