Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, has again stated that he is richer than Osun State and that he indeed said he was richer than Osun State during the run-up to the Osun State governorship election last year.




This comes months after Tinubu’s media team had claimed the APC chieftain was quoted out of context.

Tinubu had during the countdown to the Osun governorship election last September, paid a visit to the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, where he boasted that he was richer than Osun State.

While addressing party faithful ahead of the postponed Presidential and National Assembly elections in Lagos last Thursday, the former governor of Lagos State said he indeed made the statement but he did not know he was being recorded.

The APC chieftain also boasted that President Muhammadu Buhari did not possess the kind of money he can steal, adding that he did not even need to go to the Government Secretariat, Alausa, before he could get money.

He said, “They insulted me and said I used my mouth to speak anyhow. However, that rough-handedness paid off in Osun. They claimed that we brought candidates from Lagos to become governors in Osun; people like (Rauf) Aregbesola and (Gboyega) Oyetola.

“If we train your children, and they become experts in their fields, won’t we ask them to come home to make things better? How much is your money that I’ll embezzle? You can’t match my pocket. I told them so, and their traditional rulers were seated.

“They were even recording the incident and published it. Let me not say something like that again today. However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”




Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.

He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.

Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.



“They would surround me like the way ants surround sugar but they duped me; calling for mobilisation funds as if they are not all from the same neighbourhood.

“For this one, even if your footwear is worn-out, as long as you can deliver on votes, I guarantee that I’ll pay you money that will surprise you. May we not lack!

“Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, who are our members, you should be able to call them out. If you’re a registered member, go out and vote. Vote and let it be much, and when I see the result, that’s when I’ll bring out money that is worthwhile for you.”

The typical mindset of an average Nigerian politician. They skew d system to ensure poverty pervades in d land and when they start dashing us crumbs we will be clapping for them forgetting they brought such devastating situation upon us in d first place. How this man is in charge of d political atmosphere of the sophisticated and highly cerebral people of d SW still amazes me. Tinubu has openly aligned to d vote buying ideology and publicly admitted that it is his method. Talking about fighting corruption my foot. Even d pro APC mod above me can't see d difference in d two posts he is comparing.

We know Atiku was a custom officer. We know Atiku have many businesses. We know Atiku is the second largest employer of labour in Adamawa state.

What do you know about Tinubu..... A man milking Lagos dry and who cannot come out openly to say this is the business I do.

Olodo... If you don't know what Tinubu does, why not ask the educated people in your village or just use Google instead of fooling yourself online.. What a shame

You know when Judas Iscariot asked Christ is it I that will betray you, Christ answered him saying "thou sayest"
Tinubu, we did not call you thief but "thou sayest"!

Atiku and tinubu are each richer than ebonyi state self.

Stop being unwise, why should I google the business of a man? I didn't google Atiku's business, it is visible to the blind, same way I don't need to Goole Dangote's business.

Tell us the business of your drug baron who claims to be richer than a state.
Tinubu is the greatest thief in Southwest Nigeria. All businesses linked to him are extension of Lagos assets. Is it Alpha beta or Oriental hotel?

Tinubu is not corrupt, he is corruption personified. Only corrupt people will defend him.

If Atiku is corrupt as allege, then the government should waste no time in prosecuting him. Enough of slander and libel without prosecution

ipodstinks:

Yes I hate corruption and its facilitators.

I hate hypocrisy and hypocrites.

Tinubu is not only corrupt but also a hypocrite who has many slaves including you.

Like I told you before, go and ask the educated ones in your village . You are not in the city and might not know what's up.. If you really know Tinubu, you won't be asking this stupid and senseless question ..lol
