Tinubu: I’m The Owner Of Money In Bullion Vans Spotted At My House In Ikoyi, I Didn’t Steal Government Money
The leading party boss, APC, Bola Tinubu has confirmed the presence of two bullion vans at his residence in Ikoyi.
In his fiery response to critics, the former Governor of Lagos state said he has the right to keep money anywhere he likes.
Here is his short reply:
“What is your issue with bullion vans in my house? I have not done any government business in the last five years. So I didn’t steal government money.
“And the bullion van was not said to contain election materials. So what offence have I committed?
“I decide where to keep it (money) and how to keep it.”
According to speculations, the vans allegedly contained either ballot papers or huge sums of money.

In a civilized society, such action will be questioned by the police because you have to be in business that deals with heavy cash for you to be doing that. This man is not wise and does not deserve any respect from Nigerians.

When did bullion vans start running personal errands? Only in an Animal farm like Nigeria. Bill Gates with all is money is busy saving African children from diseases but the black man gathers monies he never worked for and stores in soak aways, overhead tanks, abandoned houses, foreign countries and most recently bullion vans. The moth and the rust that will devour everything are warming up. When the gods want to kill a man, they first make him mad! That money you are boasting about was never yours in the first place

There is no law in this Country and a prominent individual like Bola Tinubu should not be making a awkward statement that having a billion van full of money is lot a crime provided he has not stolen government money.
Bola Tinubu, it is a crime for running a mobile banking while there is bank for keeping these money. Besides it is a risk for keeping such huge money at home. You know you are wrong and you know better. You may not directly stole from government purse but that money could be a proceed of stolen government money which you as a politician godfather can be a beneficiary.
In a Country of law it won’t take them much time to charge you for money laundering, aiding and abetting or being an accessory to corruption from lobbyists. In the United States if that money can be traced to your lobbyists, you can be changed along with them for using your influence as one of the active members of ruling party to influence political objectives in your party. As a king maker, a lot of Nigerians knew how you got that money. It is illegal to run a private bank even though you are not a full time politician.
Bola Tinubu your actions has generated a lot of suspicious of your illegal private banking. This is absolutely wrong! Even if you are not a politician, you are a leader who suppose to lead by example. we are in an era where nobody keeps money at home again.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu identity cannot be mischaracterized. He is a god. A deity of corruption, and a menacing ideas filled with deplorable wisdom and economic practices most foul that he has fully entrenched himself and his business empire across every facet of governance in Lagos State. Through him and by him, corruption permeates every major revenue generation contract in Lagos. He has succeeded in constructing political dynasty that is undermining good governance in Lagos. The scale of his political dominance is so strong that only a brave political puppet under his leadership could stand up against his institutionalized corruption. The sudden powerlessness and almost extinction of the EFCC in the face the high profile movements of raw cash in several bullion van right into Tinubu residential building is highly questionable and suspicious. It further shows how the institution meant to fight corruption are been used, controlled, biased, lopsided and weakened by seemingly APC powerful members like Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He has become stupendously rich at the expense of Lagos State tax payers money. If the nation’s anti graft agency cannot thoroughly investigate a corruption personified individual like Tinubu for this latest show of impunity, then the efcc need to be ejected, disbanded according to law and be replaced by institution that can serve the interest of Nigerians.

It’s a pity for him, this man is in pain and agony he brought to himself, they (ruling cabals) ordered the hit last two years on his son and that’s why he is doing everything to support and defend them (Fulani cabals), it’s very unfortunate that they will not spare him before 2023, so much is happening in Nigeria.
The Fulani Muslims never see Yoruba Muslims as serious ones,hence that will not save him. MKO still remain a case study.
