#EndSARS: Tinubu speaks on Lekki killings by Limitednow: 10:07am On Oct 21, 2020
Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos State, has reacted to the violent crackdown on peaceful protesters at Lekki Toll Gate yesterday.

The demonstrators were swooped on by suspected military personnel who open fire on them in a bid to thwart the gathering. Over dozens have reportedly lost their lives as at press time.

But speaking with Channels Television Wednesday morning, the All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain denied involvement.

He is said to own shares in the infrastructure and reportedly ordered the removal of security cameras and switching off the street lights in the area before the soldiers struck.

“I will never, never be part of any carnage. I will never be part of that,” the former governor told the broadcast station on the telephone when contacted.

“I have no dime, no kobo investment in the tollgate.

“We are about 13 to 14 days into the protests now. Before now, I was being accused and reported to the Presidency that I was behind the protests, that I was a sponsor of the protests,” he added.

If they formed boko haram to cripple Jonathan who is to say they haven't planned all this to attack his personality...

Before you come for my head I don't stand with tinubu I am just thinking critically.

Of course you are always the target.

And frankly i don't like you either, but it’s illogical to say someone who was allegedly sponsoring the protest just yesterday, today ordered the Nigerian military to kill those protesters.


And it's illogical for people to claim that you they condemned to having little influence on Apc is now powerful enough to order the Nigerian military.


They obviously want blood shed in the South West and nothing more.

If you interview the devil today, he will still confidently deny is involvement in what transpired in the garden of Eden.

Sanwoolu denied claiming higher forces

Buratai denied military involvement

Tinubu is also forming saint

Who now gave orders for the cameras to be disconnected and light off to render the protesters as soft targets ?

Few days ago, miyetti Allah accused tinubu of sponsoring the protest and it's very clear that they are after his popularity.

If there's something I like about the caliphate, it is that they use one move to eliminate several pieces.

By moving the military downwards and killing protesters, they have done 3 things.

1) Attempting to quench the protest.
2)Create disloyalty and eliminate patriotism in the hearts of the southern electorates. Right now, the yorubas have an ill-feeling towards Nigeria. They might care less about presidency.
3) This is an attempt to not only destroy tinubu's ambition. It'll be clear that they are taking the state from him when buhari declares state of emergency in Lagos if the chaos persists.

I don't like tinubu, infact, I'm shocked that out of the thousands of professors in yorubaland, they chose him as the political leader. This is just me trying to be unbiased.

I also wonder why everyone on all sides are against Tinubu. I mean, Tinubu is a big part of the wicked elites that has held us back for long. But he is just a part, not the whole.

As much as am not a fan of Tinubu, i will not support his destruction except it is part of the destruction of the political elites in Nigeria. He should not be singled out.
