Tinubu Will Declare His Assets If He Wins Presidential Election – APC Chieftain

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu will declare his assets if he wins 2023 election, a chieftain of the party Farouk Aliyu has revealed.

Aliyu, a former lawmaker, said this on Tuesday.  According to him, as a two-time governor, investigations about Tinubu’s source of wealth and educational background have been carried out but nothing bad was found about him.

While people rarely question politicians’ source of wealth, the situation is now different, the APC chieftain added.

He said, “Now, if you are coming to public glare – you are looking for an office like that of a president – the people of the country have to ask.

“But going beyond asking, if he (Tinubu) wins, there would be declarations – he would declare his assets for everybody to see and I assure you that if Tinubu wins the election by the grace of God, he is going to come clean.”

He challenged Nigerians who have “any information about illegal wealth” belonging to the former Lagos State governor to disclose it publicly..

“We don’t want anybody to keep it secret. We don’t want anybody to hide,” he said, claiming that nothing illegal has so far been found on the APC presidential flagbearer.

Asides questions about Tinubu’s source of wealth, the former lawmaker who represented Birnin Kudu/Buji in the House of Representatives between 2003 and 2007 stated that the APC will inaugurate its presidential campaign council in a few days.

“I can confirm to the whole country that by Friday this week, our campaign council will be inaugurated,” he said.

Regardless of the delay in the inauguration and reports of skirmishes within the ruling party, Aliyu promised that “everybody is going to be carried along”.

“We just stayed back to see what others are doing,” he said, adding that “the campaigns will start immediately”.
