Bullion Van: Running An Election Isn't Cheap - Tinubu Support Group by etokhana: 5:34pm On Jan 26, 2022
Kehinde Bamigbetan, co-Founder of Grassroots Network for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says there is nothing wrong with the presence of bullion vans at the Bourdillon’s residence of the All Progressives Congress leader on the eve of the presidential elections in February 2019.

Bamigbetan, a former Commissioner for Information in Lagos State, stated this during an interview with Nigeria Info’ s ‘Daily Digest’ programme.

Speaking on the radio programme aired on Wednesday and monitored by The PUNCH, Bamigbetan said running an election is not a cheap affair, noting that some circumstances warrant the movement of cash during electioneering.

Viral pictures on the eve of the 2019 presidential election had showed two cash-laden bullion vans driving into Tinubu’s Bourdillon residence in Lagos.

The then acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, had refused to answer a question regarding a petition submitted against Tinubu for alleged money laundering.

Tinubu, now a 2023 presidential hopeful, had stated during an interview that the money belonged to him and he was free to distribute it to his supporters since he was not a government official.

When told by the host of the radio programme, Jimi Disu, that the Bullion vans episode should not have happened in the first instance, Bamigbetan said, “The circumstances will determine. Let us be practical about this matter. You want to run a state-wide election. This is two days or three days to that election; you are going to fund this across Lagos State.

“Running an election is not a cheap affair for a whole state or for a whole country and certainly you either move the fund through electronic system or physically. What I am just saying is that there are some circumstances that create such.


“It is more often because the emergency of that time required that the funds, the logistics be deployed almost immediately.”

Was tinubu contesting any elective position at the time the bullion vans drove inside his premises?

Modify;what I meant was that for tinubu to have moved 2 bullion vans into his premises when he was neither a political candidate nor a bank was an indication that he was moving illicit funds meant to rigged the election for his preferred political godson.Hope I have clarify myself to those mentioning my comment?

Just imagine the audacity of these shameless promoters of a renowned thief? No contrition whatsoever!
sad
...but what do you expect when the EFCC has been reduced to an arm of the APC.

If Tinubu could afford to fritter two, I mean two bullion van-loads of stolen Lagosians' money just for vote-buying in an election he wasn't even on the ballot, only God knows just how much he has fraudulently amassed over his 23-year of stranglehold on Lagos' coffers.

..and this is the robber some stupefied id!ots are packaging for presidency!

Chopping the common wealth of the state for election is not something that should be done in a sane climate. By their spoken words you will know sense is far from them.

cool



Question 1; is it a crime to withdraw any amount from his personal account and bring it in an amoured vehicle to his personal residence?!

Question 2; has Tinubu contested any political position since 2003 Gebernitorial election, or as he been in office since 2007

Question 3; is there any polling unit in the budillion drive Ikoyi compound of Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Question 4; did the people and supporters begging for money outside his gate tell anyone they were coerced or bribe to vote anybody the next day

Question 5; did anybody, Bank, or Company declare or report their Bullion van or Money missing to the Police
