Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
By Our Reporter
16,700 people have signed Reno Omokri’s petition asking the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe APC leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This figure came up 10 days after Mr. Omokri, a former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan invited signers to the petition at change.org.
According to Omokri, the petition attracted a record 10,000 respondents in one day and also attracted 15,000 signers six days ago.
Omokri hopes to hit 25,000 signatures.
Omokri’s petition is urging the EFCC to investigate Tinubu, for allegedly contravening the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act of 2011, by having bullion vans ferry alleged large sums of money into his Bourdillon Ikoyi residence on the eve of the 2019 Presidential election.
Asiwaju Tinubu had responded to question regarding the bullion van on TV saying “Is it my money or government money? I don’t work for government…even if I have money to spend in my premises, what’s your headache?”
The opposition has used the van issue to berate the anti-corruption policy of government.
