Kunle DaramolaAyodele Adewale, the organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos, says the bullion vans seen entering Bola Tinubu’s residence in 2019 missed their intended address.
Hours before the 2019 presidential election was scheduled to commence, viral pictures on social media showed two bullion vans driving into Tinubu’s residence. There were speculations as to what was contained in the vehicles, with many saying it was ballot papers, while there were claims that it was money.Speaking in an interview on Arise Television on Thursday, Adewale said Tinubu, who is currently the APC presidential candidate, was joking when he said the package in the bullion vans is money.
“On the matter of the bullion van, I think that matter has been put to rest. There was no money in the bullion van and the bullion van that even came missed the address to have come there,” he said. “The bullion van didn’t move on election day. I was in that house that very day. The bullion van missed the address to have come there. It was not invited by Asiwaju or anybody.“What he said about money being inside the bullion vans was a joke. He said that jokingly. The same way Mr Dangote said that when he wanted to authenticate and get the mindset that truly he has money; he went to cash N1 million, sat and looked at it, and returned it to the bank.
