By The national leader of the All Progressives Congress party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has debunked reports that he ordered soldiers to shoot at the Lekki protesters.
The politician in a statement, said the claims that he called on soldiers to shoot at the protesters were outright lies.
The former Lagos governor said people don’t like him because they believe the false rumours uttered about him over the years.
He confirmed that he is a promoter and financial investor in The Nation newspaper and Television Continental (TVC), both of which he alleged were attacked by people hired by his political opponents.
“There is no rationale that can adequately explain why I would order soldiers to repel peaceful protesters from the toll gate where I have no financial interest, yet, choose to do nothing to protect my investments in The Nation and TVC.”
The APC leader also urged the state government to donate revenue from the tollgate to the victims of the Lekki attack as well as to other identifiable victims of police brutality in Lagos.
