Tinubu visits Sanwo-Olu in Lagos as crowd storms his London residence

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu did not travel out of the country contrary to views, just as he visited Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday in Marina.

He commiserated with Sanwo-Olu over the mayhem that engulfed Lagos. One of the reporters asked Tinubu: “Sir, we were told that you were in London, you were in Paris, when did you return?”

"I didn't go anywhere, I am a Lagosian. I still hold the title of 'Asiwaju of Lagos' & I am still a Jagaban. Fake news is all over the place." – Bola Tinubu addressing the media earlier today from Government House in Marina, Lagos.

He said he was at the State House, Marina to commiserate with the government and sympathise with him through the governor.

Tinubu added that he wanted to seek the permission of Sanwo-Olu to visit some of the victims if they were still in the hospital.

He said since Sanwo-Olu made the announcement to assume the responsibility of paying the bills of those affected, he wanted to he how he could help to give succour to the victims.

In his words: “I am here to commiserate with the government and sympathise with those victims through him (Sanwo-Olu), to seek his permission to visit some of those victims if they are still there in the hospital.

“Since he made the announcement to assume the responsibility of paying the payment and all that, how can we do to and what can we do to help him, to give succour?”

Meanwhile, Nigerians demanding the end to police brutality and bad governance in line with the #EndSARS tagline storm the London residence of APC National Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Saturday.

According to the video posted by African Independent Television, only a few of them carried placards with many chanting derogatory words as they stormed Tinubu’s residence at Duchess Mews, Portland Place.

This is coming after the APC leader was accused of ordering security forces to open fire on #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate area of Lagos State – a claim he has denied. Tinubu responded by stating he will never be part of any carnage.

“Why will they use live bullets? I will never, never be part of any carnage. I will never be part of that.”

The former Lagos state governor also denied having any investment in the Lekki Concession Company, the firm which manages the tollgate. He said: “I have no dime, no kobo investment in the tollgate.”

“We are about 13 to 14 days into the protests now. Before now, I was being accused and reported to the Presidency that I was behind the protests, that I was a sponsor of the protests.”

Tinubu had also “appealed to the youths” and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to respond to the demands of the protesters. “That was why he (Sanwo-Olu) set up the Judicial Commission of Inquiry. The governor has gone to the home of one of the victims to appeal to them.

“He has put N200m together as part of restitution and compensation for those attacked,” he added.
