In a new interview, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, has shed light on his wealth sources.
According to Tinubu, he has been investigated and accused to the highest degree, yet nothing has been proven against him.
Many Nigerians had challenged Tinubu to explain his source of stupendous wealth and this has been a recurring issue in the current electioneering for the 2023 election.
During the interview, he accused his critics of envy, explaining that he had a lot of investments which yielded profit.
Responding to the question on the corruption allegation, he said, “You got to know how to analyse and how to ask questions, not in the accusatory format.
“Are they enemies of wealth, if they are not enemies of wealth, investments do yield. I have an example of Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in America and in the world. He started with stock buying. I inherited great real estate, and I turned the values around.
“I am not denying my wealth. I was the most investigated, the most accused governor for eight years, up to 2007 and since I left the office, I am still there, I have not taken any government appointment.”
Asked about the allegation that he was taking a certain share of the revenue being generated in Lagos State where he governed between 1999 and 2007, he retorted, “Hey excuse me, share what? Have they proven it? The IMF has investigated the record in Lagos. What is wrong with them? It is envy.”
