An interview with the director-general of the Tinubu Support Management Council, Abdulmumin Jibrin, led to a back and forth as he repeatedly snubbed questions concerning Bola Tinubu’s source of wealth, cash-carrying bullion van and age.

Mr Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had on Monday formally declared his intention to run for the country’s president in 2023 after months of speculation.

On March 29, 2021, Mr Tinubu celebrated his birthday, and a colloquium was hosted to mark the day. Mr Tinubu’s age is known to be 69.

However, the APC leader’s critics claim he is older than 69.

Source of wealth, bullion van, age
While on the morning show of Arise Television, Mr Jibrin, when asked about his principal’s source of wealth and the discrepancies around his age, said “this question you have just asked is part of what I have answered earlier. I think at this point that we have gotten to, our emphasis should be on the pedigree of this candidate..what he has achieved.”

He stressed that the focus should be on the presidential aspirant’s capacity and competence.

Again, he was asked ” how did Bola Tinubu make so much money that he had a bullion van in his home on election day. And how old is he?”

Mr Jibrin in his response said: “When you continue to repeat the question, you will get the same answer. These are all trash from the internet that people put together and we will not elevate such conversation.

“But when the campaign commences, we will bring out facts and figures before Nigerians but we will not create a narrative for them.”

When he was asked again, he questioned the journalist’s professionalism while asking the interviewer to “tolerate his response.”

“I responded, if you don’t like the way I responded to it, you move on,” he said.

Mr Jibrin had earlier during the interview said being a good leader is not a function of age.

“You can be a young man and be a bad leader, a young man well educated and be a bad leader and you can be an old man of 70 years even above and be a very good leader…The most important thing is capacity and competence.”

On the eve of the 2019 general elections, viral pictures on social media showed two bullion vans driving into Mr Tinubu’s residence.

Mr Tinubu later admitted the bullion vans were conveying money to his house, but defended his action, saying he did nothing wrong because he was not a government official.

Corruption allegations
Mr Jibrin said: “practically everybody” (Nigerian politicians) have been accused of corruption.

However, the only way to know if a politician is corrupt is when a court judgement has been passed.

He said the corruption charge is not unusual because Mr Tinubu is a “frontrunner.”

At the end of the interview, he was again asked “was there a case of a bullion van or not?

He replied: ”I stand comfortably and strongly on my previous answers to this question.

In October 2020, the former Lagos governor was accused of money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, and sundry corrupt practices by one Dapo Apara, a Nigerian chartered accountant.

Tinubu is a multibillionaire in dollars

As a major shareholder in Oando, INTELS, ALPHA BETA, TVC , Hotel Continental , Renita and other businesses ... Bullion van is a very small thing to him

Even Seyi Tinubu can run Bullion van from his income generated through digital advert accross Lagos

So are you saying he made his money from Narcotics?

Tinubu is a criminal. He makes his money through Crime.

Tinubu that was in Osun few years back and proudly told the good people of the State that they do not have his kind of money.

He really is very rich or how else can he afford moving bullion vans around on eve of election ?

The fact that he has started visiting UK hospital for treatment before becoming president further confirms he will take over from where Buhari is going to stop.

But the FBI case files shows at the time he was low level pool treasurer at Mobil Nigeria earning a lowly 2400 dollars a month

I don't think he's in any position to answer that though.
There are some private questions you ignore than reveal uncertain things.

He doesn't want to sound as stupíd as that Tinubu supporter who famously said "Tinubu made all his money while working with Mobil" as violent as they are while arguing, the average Tinubu supporter is very daft intellectually and so Mr Abdulmumin doesn't want to fall into the trap of being daft so that in the likely event Tinubu isn't given the party flag, he'll port with his integrity intact

But you know that you are not making sense...

How much money had Tinubu before he became the governor of Lagos State?

Ogbeni, don't come here and talk rubbish because some of us were old enough to know Tinubu in his NADECO days...

Maybe the Midas touch of stupendous wealth got to him after controlling the wealth of Lagos....

You answer lies inside FBI indictment report, the whole account of his family got published by Citibank Chicago and that was before politics or NADECO

Dumb questions. The Bible even says we should avoid foolish questions, Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Despite Mazi Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in the public domain, he is still asking of his age, is that not stupidity at the peak

Wise response from Abdu Mu'min Jibrin.

What did that presenter expected him to say? Dance to their rumoured news?

Haters keep hating for nothing

SarkinYarki:

Pick up a microphone go and stand atop third mainland bridge to ask that question. Nonsense.

Precisely. Same as the disgruntled IPOBian OP of this thread is doing. It is the season of jokes.

Yet what I know is that elections are not won pandering to mischief-makers like OP or the nuisance interviewer who is clearly patronizing the intelligence of Nigerians.

They did far more than this to Buhari and failed. Tinubu supporters should remain focused and ensure they deploy an issue-based approach to market and sell BAT.

We will leave the gossiping and mischief-making to the 'anyone but Tinubu' crew like the OP.

Only an imbecilic dunce believes a shell development company worker without any business like Tinubu, or family wealth like Tinubu can suddenly be a billionaire in 6 years.. even her ex military administrator husband doesn't have such

I mean dunce that have Ikpeazu as governor shouldn't be that stupid

techmo:

You are contradicting yourself.

Are you saying FBI pronounced Tinubu a wealthy man?

I am sure even Tinubu himself will be ashamed of the weak defence you are trying to proffer for him here.

I tell you that the FBI probe is one area where FBI will not like searchlights beamed on..

Dem go drag your man like kilode in the unlikely scenario that he picks the APC ticket..

Wahala be like bullion van

You can make your point without quoting the Bible out of context...

The verse you quoted has nothing to do with the issue in question.

your tiers started too early, wait until APC governors give Tinubu a bloody nose then you can cry with reason.
