The wife of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Oluremi Tinubu, has recounted how she begged the wife of her husband’s running mate, Hajia Nana Shettima, for N2 million on Wednesday.
Loading ...Oluremi, a former Lagos Senator, said this on Thursday, during a town hall meeting with People Living With Disabilities in Abuja.
Bola Tinubu’s wife said this to counter the belief of many who felt her family was wealthy and that her husband was popular because of money.
She said: “When they say he has the money of the world, I just wonder. Mrs Shettima knows that I begged her just to give me N2m yesterday.”
She attributed the generosity of Tinubu as the reason behind his popularity and not money.
Oluremi said: “Asiwaju’s secret is not about money, contrary to what people think, he is a very compassionate man and very generous. There is nothing he can’t give.
“I remember after he finished as governor, we used to have this staff at home; if you needed anything, he would say go and meet so and so―that is who he is.
“The people you see in rallies are not after money. They believe someone can give them hope in these trying times.”
Tinubu is one of the major contenders aspiring to be the President of Nigeria in the general election coming up next week Saturday.
The cash is in old naira notes denomination which Buhari has outlawed. That’s why some APC Governors are demanding that it be restored into the system so that they can continue spending the looted money. Sorry the money will soon be thrown into the dust bins
