Tinubu Lavishes $2m On Donald Trump’s Hotel Suite by aproko247: 3:20pm On Apr 23, 2013 |
www.aproko247.com/?p=2584 The Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom and Asiwaju of Lagos, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on the move again as he has taken his quest for the best that money could buy to the next level. A close source to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader revealed that the likeable politician is now the temporary ‘landlord’ of a suite in the elitist Donald Trump Plaza in Chicago, USA. “You know that Asiwaju owns many properties across the world, including Chicago, where he once lived for many years, he has now decided to move a step further by shelling out $2 million on a prestigious suite in the plaza to enable him have more time for his schedule. You know 2015 is around the corner and being a major player in who gets what, he has to start planning, it is not everything you do from your home, one needs a serene place to do this. And many more, including meetings with some world leaders and there is no better place to do this than the kind of environment a personality like Donald Trump revels in. “If you think money can’t buy you happiness, my friend, you don’t know where to stop, Tinubu is a man of great taste and standard, hence his decision to part with $2m, which to him is nothing compared to the kind of status and returns it will bring to him,” said a source. The hotel itself is strategically located by the river side; this is where he now meets with the high and mighty. Our source disclosed that it is a yearly agreement that gives him a propriety right as the owner of the suite. The hotel cannot lodge another guest in that suite whether he’s around or not though he may be subjected to other minor taxes and maintenance costs. We gathered that a $2 million property is a big deal by American standard, which is enough to raise eyebrow even from the government. Our investigations revealed that Bola Tinubu acquired the suite after his rumoured attempt at buying President Barrack Obama’s house in Hyde Park, Chicago failed. President Obama was said to have instructed that the house should on no account be sold to a third world leader or politician due largely to their corrupt practices or wrongful manner of amazing wealth. ‘The modest home is located at Hyde Park, the park is where the University of Chicago is located, Tinubu would’ve made a strong statement if the deal had gone through, but for Obama,” our source said. Apparently, President Obama doesn’t need the inevitable controversy and scandal that is bound to follow such a sale. ‘You realize that as a junior senator from Illinois in 2006, he called Nigeria a failed state,’ said the source. Further investigations revealed that President Obama’s action was not directly aimed at Tinubu, but just to show his annoyance at the level of decay in Africa and his apparent level of most third world nations. “Obama has some level of respect for Tinubu, hence his decision to meet him over breakfast in Ghana not long after his first inauguration. You can also recall that Tinubu was one of the opposition leaders that graced his inauguration,” our source added. Story by Aishat Balogun/First Weekly Magazine. Do you have a story/gist for us?

1. This is a rumor from a gossip online website. 2. He's not a public official or responsible for your life like Odechukwu Jonathan that you voted for and paying to do that job. Basically, find something better to do with your time. 2 Likes |

karl max: so what does he do for a living to be lavishing such fund? 1. To start with, do you have evidence go back up this story from a gossip website that he actually did what you are saying he did? 2. He's a private citizen, I'm sure he has business interests and I'm also 100% sure its not a crime in Nigeria or anywhere for private citizens to have business concerns. Instead of wasting your time worrying about a non government official and bogus stories, worry more about your own government and its officials who are stealing your money and responsible for your life. |

Thess slow pokes never cease to amaze the world from spending N2B for a birthday bash to spending N80M to host a porn actress for 45 minutes now to lavishing N320M tax payers money on a hotel suite. The same folks closed down a thriving international market for more than a month on a flimsy environmental reason , closing down a thriving Mechanic workshop engaging hundreds of Ladies that the Government does not and cannot offer employment. One remembers vividly how thousands of Motorbike operators had their bikes and their only means of livelihood ceased without compensation only to be auctioned and the money used to perpetrate wickedness As if to add salt to injury this same frog was seen some few months advocating for people to vote out the incumbent and vote his thieving party in what would have been the biggest Kleptocracy the world who ever have seen . These thieves have ruined the promising career of Gen M.Buhari . president Obama Government would do well to kick out of United states such dubious people without any significant means of livelihood besides extortion of money from political office holders 2 Likes |
