Director-General of the Tinubu Support Management Council, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has expressed shock that his principal has large shares in Apple Inc and Manchester United Football Club.
The DG said this as he disclosed two of the numerous streams of income of the presidential hopeful, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to a statement on Wednesday, Jibrin who has faced questions as to the source of wealth of his boss, expressed shock that Tinubu owned large shares in the technology company and also own a sizeable amount of shares in the English Football Club.
Jibrin affirming that the information was genuine, disclosed that Tinubu shared it with him while he was watching football with the former Lagos State Governor recently in his residence.
He added that Tinubu has been funding pro-democracy groups with his resources since the early 90s, stressing that nobody has disputed the stated fact.
Jibrin thus advised those asking for Tinubu’s source of wealth to bear in mind that his principal is not corrupt and stop linking him with corruption.
“I was shocked to discover that Asiwaju has enormous shares in Apple Corporation, and also lately while watching football with him, I also discovered that he is a big shareholder in Manchester United.
“Asiwaju has been funding pro-democracy groups since the 1990s, using his investment to support them. No one has disputed this fact. Why were they not asking him where he got his money then?” he said.
