All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the weekend in Osogbo, boasted that Osun State doesn’t have his kind of money
The former governor of Lagos spoke during a visit to the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun.
Tinubu’s statement has since generated reactions from Nigerians on social media.
Some Nigerians condemned the statement, questioning the source of the APC national leader’s wealth.
Below are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:
@2027Ogunstate “And they say Tinubu is a saint while Saraki is a thief.. Lagosians are a set of bitter people, they know the truth but they don’t want to admit it.”
@Gmarrus “You this Bola Tinubu… Where did you get your wealth? Isn’t that you too looted the treasury?
@Johngrace “Tinubu does not care who’s performing all he’s after is the millions he will be looting. Tinubu said it’s not his fault because he’s richer than Osun state. Now you know how bad Buharist are, Buharist won’t talk about it but Saraki. I weep for this country.”
@Rebrandng, “Tinubu just insulted the people of Osun. It’s only a foolish Osun man that will still vote for a man that does not regard them.”
@Johngra6079 “How can Tinubu say he’s richer than a state? Lagos state money. Tinubu is the national chairman of corruption! … and he’s proud of it. Sorry for Nigeria youths.”
@Realmkoabiodun1 “Tinubu’s style of leadership is far better than those of his contemporaries. No man is infallible.”
@Sir_Aj3 “Since Tinubu the jagaban of all corrupt politicians says he’s richer than Osun state then in no time will he be richer than Nigeria. Wasn’t surprised with the deplorable state of Osun, he has typically sucked that state to coma with the help of Rauf, leaving the citizens despair.”
@Anambradecides1 “That’s true. Tinubu is richer than Osun and Ekiti lumped together. Because all major contracts in Yorubaland excluding Ondo state must be serviced by him and his cronies. Tinubu said all this, I heard him say it. And like Abba Kyari, he’ll remain untouchable until he becomes president in 2023.”
@Mikepeter2657 “This is the Tinubu some people see as saint compared to Saraki. I have said it that Saraki is still a learner in term of corruption compare 2Tinubu.
“I was told that Saraki mortgage Kwara&the same way Tinubu mortgage Lagos.”
@CoolDejavou “Tinubu statement is a salt to Osun people’s injury & we must send him back to where is puppet belong.”
@Jighson “Tinubu of APC went to Osun State to boast and degrade them as poor peasants and APC want their Votes? How?”
