Mr. Phrank Shaibu, a media aide to the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has criticised the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He said Tinubu has no moral capacity to even think of turning internet fraudsters popularly called Yahoo Boys to tech experts as promised.
Shaibu made this revelation in a statement, in Abuja, the country’s capital on Friday.
The Informant247 observes that the presidential candidate of the ruling party at a rally in Benin on Thursday, said he would reform Yahoo boys’.
The media aide to the former vice president has explained that Tinubu has not yet defended the allegations of drugs leveled against him.
He said, “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, produced another comedy skit at the APC Presidenti rally in Benin City on Thursday when he promised to turn ‘the so called Yahoo boys in Edo State to “experts in manufacturing and creation of chips that din dasan dadauga.’
“Had it been he were addressing a Christian congregation we could have assumed that he was speaking in tongues but this was a campaign rally where he was supposed to have sold his candidacy to the millions of youths suffering from unemployment under the disease called the APC.
“ Instead he elected to refer to the young people of Edo state as Yahoo boys and fraudsters.
“Tinubu’s daily gaffes are evidence that he has no business going to Aso Rock Presidential Villa but he should rather be seeking urgent medical attention.“
He further said, “While delivering his uninspiring speech, he took a swipe at Waziri Atiku Abubakar, insisting that Atiku acted dishonourably by selling vehicles while he was a customs officer.
“Tinubu’s frustration is quite understandable given the fact 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.
“American authorities revealed that Akande took Tinubu to First Heritage Bank where he opened an account for himself and his wife Oluremi in 1989.
“While opening the account, the Lagos godfather revealed in documents that he worked with Mobil Nigeria Limited and his salary was $2,400 and he had no other sources of income.
“But records from his First Heritage Bank account showed that in 1990, he deposited $661,000 into his individual money market account and in 1991 deposited $1,216,500 into the same money market account.
“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.
Shaibu also said, “This is a man whose entire life is built on falsehood. He is not even brave enough to reveal the primary and secondary schools he attended for fear of the avalanche of dirt that will be unearthed about his life.
“He has continued to avoid debates so that he will not be forced to tell the truth. Yet he has the effrontery to question Atiku Abubakar? What a joke.“
Shaibu has urged Nigerians to question Tinubu’s source of income.
“How can he even be talking about reforming Yahoo boys in Edo State given his dark past with US authorities? He should remove the log in his eyes before trying to remove the speck in the eyes of others.”
