Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he did not travel out of the country amid the #EndSARS protests.
Tinubu made this statement on Saturday during a visit to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the State House in Marina.
Reports had made rounds that the Former Lagos Governor had jetted out of the country following the Lekki shooting which saw numbers of EndSars protesters killed and others injured.
Reacting to the unending reports, Tinubu said “I didn’t go nowhere; I’m a Lagosian and I still hold the title of Asiwaju of Lagos and I am still a Jagaban,”
“Fake news is all over the place. They say Seyi my son was kidnapped and was chased but look at him. I didn’t pay a penny to bring him here.”
Tinubu stated that he visited the governor to clarify if he had ordered soldiers to attack unarmed #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate on Tuesday.
He asked Sanwo-Olu “if he didn’t order the attack, who ordered the attack? That’s all I needed from him.”
Tinubu also stressed the need for a thorough investigation into the Tuesday night attack.
“First, we have to segregate the calendar – those who suffered casualty before the protests from the hands of SARS. You have to separate that from those who suffered casualty due to what happened at the toll gate.
“For those who suffered casualty from SARS, the Commission of Inquiry that is already set up will unearth that and will make their recommendations. I trust the calibre and the character of the people there, they are independent. That is one. He said
