Tinubu told supporters in Edo State on Thursday that his administration would “turn so-called yahoo-yahoo boys into chip manufacturing and creation.”
Atiku said Tinubu was frustrated, according to Phrank Shaibu, his special assistant on public communications. Atiku claimed that while Tinubu was Deputy Director of Customs in charge of Enforcement and Drugs, he and two notorious kingpins, Muiz Akande and Abiodun Agbele, were stopped from bringing hard drugs into the country. Bola Tinubu, according to the former vice president, should first remove the log in his own eyes before attempting to remove the speck in the eyes of others.
“The All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, produced another comedy skit at the APC Presidential rally in Benin City on Thursday when he promised to turn “the so-called Yahoo boys in Edo State into “experts in manufacturing and creation of chips,” he said. “Tinubu’s annoyance is understandable given that in 1989, while Atiku, a Federal officer, was serving as the Deputy Director of Customs in charge of Enforcement and Drugs and was protecting the country’s borders from smugglers and drug dealers, Tinubu was in bed with two notorious drug kingpins, Muiz Akande and Abiodun Agbele.
“In a bid to protect their reputation, Mobil representatives told US authorities that even though Tinubu was a treasurer, he had no direct access to the company’s cash and thus could not deposit funds on behalf of the firm. Tinubu, the man Governor Wike and his friends have signed up to support as President, has yet to explain to any human being how he was able to save over $1.8 million from his monthly salary of $2,400. Fortunately for him, he was able to reach an agreement with the US government that saw him forfeit over $460,000 in cash.
“Tinubu should hide his face in shame rather than pontificate on morality. Given his history with US authorities, how can he even be talking about reforming Yahoo boys in Edo State? He should first remove the log from his own eyes before attempting to remove the speck from the eyes of others.”
