Admits saying Osun doesn’t have his kind of money Says he’s bankrolling Buhari’s election campaigns singlehandedly
Bayo Akinloye
The
National Leader of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has
promised to give a substantial amount of money to the party faithful if
their votes can secure reelection for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu,
former governor of Lagos State, also disclosed that he had enough money
to bankroll elections without requesting any money from Buhari or
dipping his hands in Lagos State’s treasury.
He made the remarks in a leaked audio tape THISDAY obtained yesterday from an authoritative source that pleaded anonymity.
In
the tape, Tinubu said, “For all those who have come to Bourdillon, you
know why we are here. We are here for mobilisation. You know what I mean
by mobilisation.
“So, as registered APC members, you have to
go and get your neighbours to come out and vote for the APC. It is
after I have seen the favourable results of the elections that I will
bring out good money.
“Buhari does not have the money that I want
to steal and he doesn’t have the money I want to take from him. Also,
he does not have the war chest for this presidential election.
“Therefore,
whatever I’m promising you is for real – and it is coming from my own
pocket. It is not until I go to Alausa before I can get money to give
you.”
He, however, told the APC supporters who had come to
visit him in preparation for the now postponed presidential and federal
parliamentary polls that he would reward them financially after they had
“delivered victory” for Buhari.
