Abdulmumin Jibrin, a former member of the House of
Representatives, has spoken on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s source of wealth and
real age.
Jibrin, who is the Director-General of Tinubu’s campaign
organisation for the 2023 presidential election, said that the source of wealth
of the former Lagos State Governor has been a controversy.
There have been doubts and controversies regarding Tinubu’s
perceived stupendous wealth but the former lawmaker said he was himself shocked
to recently discovered that the APC National Leader is a shareholder in English
club, Manchester United.
Jibrin also said he finds it so embarrassing that some
people are asking questions about the real age of Tinubu, reminding them that
his principal is 69-70 years.
Speaking on Tinubu’s source of wealth, Jibrin, according to
Guardian, said, “It has never been a source of controversy. We talk about the
aids, source of wealth, Asiwaju’s spending. It has always been in the public
space.
“I find it very embarrassing that we ask about his age when
it is public knowledge. It is there every year, he is 69 years old and getting
to 70.”
Continuing on his source of wealth, Jibrin said “For
somebody who has been (head) hunted, right from his schooling days; by
multi-national organisations, worked in Arthur Andersen, worked for Mobil and
got into politics. This man didn’t go into politics as a poor man.
“I can assure you that no Senator of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria is a poor man. He went into politics as a senator of the federal
republic. It is in public glare that this man has business in his DNA, both in
exporting and the rest. All the people are fully aware that he was sponsoring
pro-democracy singlehandedly.
“Nobody has come out with a contrary opinion to that
pro-democracy activism in the mid-nineties all through.
“So, why are they asking from where he was getting all that
money? And, over the years, here is a man who has had investment all over the
world, massive share (holding) in Apple.
“I was surprised lately, while watching a football match
with him, to get to know that he is a shareholder in Manchester United
(Football Club). So, he has been in business.
“So, you can categorise his business, working life and we can categorise his massive goodwill from well-wishers, that should not come to us as a surprise.”
