''Osun state does not have my kind of money'' - Bola Tinubu tells state residents ahead of governorship election(video)

''Osun state does not have my kind of money'' - Bola Tinubu tells state residents ahead of governorship election(video)

Ahead of the state governorship election slated for September 22nd, former governor of Lagos state and APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, has told residents of the state that they do not have the kind of money that would impress him.

 

Tinubu said this while reacting to claims that he was imposing the APC governorship candidate, Gboyega Oyetola on the state so he can embezzle the state resources when Oyetola is sworn into office.

 

Speaking during a visit to the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, over the weekend, Tinubu said Oyetola, the APC candidate was reliable. Speaking in Yoruba dialect, Tinubu said

“Oyetola is a reliable person. He may be quiet, but the sense he has… he is an encyclopedia of finance. He will not take a bribe; he will not steal your money. If he is looking for money, he would have stayed back in Lagos. Osun doesn’t have Oyetola’s kind of money. I’m not abusing the state. I asked those saying that I’m trying to plant Oyetola in Osun, that how much does Osun have? Osun doesn’t have my kind of money.” he said

    True talk. People wey hunger wan kill.

      Yes, some people would support Tinubu blindly as if they are brainwashed. If Tinubu was not governor of Lagos, where would he get money from? The difference between APC and PDP is the type of corruption. PDP would steal illegally once but APC would enter into very shady agreements that for years to come, the conduit would not go dry. Both of them have denied the people of Nigeria the opportunity to become a better country.

      Yes Osun state may be poor but it won't be like that forever. That is why Tinubu wants his man in there so that he can buy choice land and properties at giveaway prices. Is that not how he made his money is Lagos state? He wants to be Nigeria's biggest private landlord.

    I have a great respect for Tinubu but he has disappointed Nigerians enough let him go and rest and enjoy the ones he has gotten, he gave Nigerians the worst President in the history of mankind, making Nigeria the headquarters of porosity

  7. Oluseyi

    I had a dream that one day Tinubu ,Ameachi and the likes will be jailed for various atrocities they have committed against the people of Nigeria.

    Osun state budget for 2018 is 179.2bn Naira. Jagaban brags that he is richer than osun state.meaning he makes more money in a year than osun state where did he get the money from. It is crystal clear that he is part of the 16yrs of rot He keeps blaming PDP for. Nigerians shine you eyes.

  13. guru

    Money they say is the root of all evil . This man and Aregbesola has brought this state to it knees and he does not expect anything else from them. Now it's going to be the turn of the Adeleke's to line their pockets .Funny how politics works in Nigeria.

    this is just so sad..thought the govt was fighting corruption.so how come they havent asked this ugly fool how he made the money he claims to have to make him richer than a state.I really do think Nigeria is not a country but a place

    Yes, Osun does not have your kind of money because you stole too much money in Lagos and you are still stealing money via Alpha Beta consultancy.

    This is pure bullshit, to be honest with you, they might win Osun State election, that is how they won the second term election for Aregbe cos its clear that it was rigged. So this time around they have federal power and they will win again. Only God can release Osun State from this poverty streaking government that is teaching our youths to earn 10k per month doing OYES saying apalara, if truly apalara is it for 10k per month, 10k that is not more than what a yahoo boy will use to carry olosho per night, make person dey sweep roads for one month and still be earning that low. can their own kids do that kind of jobs. the truth be told. Only God Can Judge. No Man Can. I am a true Osun born and i hate politics cos its paddy paddy, all na arrangie...Your vote won't vote them out, don't go and spend time under sun trying to vote this people out.
