Tinubu Claims President Jonathan Has Concentrated Nigeria’s Money in Bribing People

A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has accused president Goodluck Jonathan of using money meant to insure the lives of security men, especially those fighting Boko Haram in the North Eastern part of the country to bribe Nigerians for his reelection.

Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos made this claim at an APC campaign rally in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos state.

The APC chieftain called on Jonathan to apologise to Nigerians over his failure to fulfill any of the promises he made in 2011.



According to him, “Jonathan never says to Nigerians, I am sorry. Today, he cannot pay insurance for the life of the soldiers and the police who are working in danger.

“They have concentrated money in bribing people. The exchange rate is very high and he says he wants to make vehicles for Nigeria.

“Majority of Nigerian youths are looking for jobs. Six years ago, he appealed to Nigerians that he had no shoes and because of that people voted for him. The President has spent six years in office and he is yet to do what he promised Nigerians.

“He has failed in the area of power and that has affected many small and medium scale businesses. Today, they are asking for people to pay for electricity they don’t use. That is double jeopardy; money for diesel, money for electricity failure. Can we allow that one to continue? We need change.” said Tinubu.

Tinubu advised Nigerians against voting based on ethnicity, tribe or religion.

“If a government has been there for 16 years and you don’t see progress, you must move out of that government; send them away. Enough is enough. Failure is not part of us.
