Abdulmumin Jibrin, director-general of the Tinubu Support Management Council, has revealed two of the numerous streams of income of presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Jibrin, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has huge shares in Apple (Apple Inc) and Manchester United.
The former lawmaker, who was a guest by Zoom on prime time programme on Television Continental, Journalists Hangout, expressed shock that Tinubu owned large shares in the technology company and also a sizeable amount of shares in the English Premier League football club.
Jibrin told the guests of the show, anchored by Babajide Kolade-Otitoju, that Tinubu shared the information with him while he was watching football with the former Lagos State Governor recently in his residence.
According to Jibrin, the presidential hopeful has been funding pro-democracy groups with his resources since the 1990s, stressing that nobody has disputed the stated fact.
The former member of the Green Chamber advised those asking for Tinubu’s source of wealth to know that his principal is not corrupt and stop linking him with corruption.
He said: “I was shocked to discover that Asiwaju has enormous shares in Apple Corporation and also lately while watching football with him, I also discovered that he is a big shareholder in Manchester United.
“Asiwaju has been funding pro-democracy groups since the 1990s, using his investment to support them.
“No one has disputed this fact.
“Why were they not asking him where he got his money then?”
Speaking further, Jibrin said Tinubu’s competence has never been in doubt, adding that he has the capacity to change things and improve upon what is already in existence.
He said the APC leader has done this in Lagos, adding that he has also been been part and parcel of policies that have positively impacted the country even though he no longer occupies public office.
