The media team of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has dismissed news of United States company, Deloitte disowning him as an ex-employee.
In an interview published on PM News, Tinubu had said, ”I resumed work at Deloitte training school in June 1979. By April 1979, when I was graduating, I had gotten my future charted. And that was the greatest thing I achieved in America”.
However, Deloitte said Tinubu never worked with the firm at any time, and they don’t have his employment records in their systems.
The letter from Deloitte, dated September 20, 2022, partly read, “We received a subpoena 16 September 2022, seeking employment records for Bola Tinubu, SSN…. Please be advised that we have no record of Bola Tinubu in our systems and, as such, have no employment records for them.”
In his reaction, the Director, Media, and Publicity, at Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, said the campaign team is only focusing on the flag-off of its presidential rally in Jos.
On if Tinubu worked with Deloitte, Onanuga told Daily Independent not to believe everything on social media.
“Do you believe everything you read on social media? Right now, our focus is on our festival in Jos tomorrow. We will not respond to irrelevant questions,” he said.
Deloitte is one of the Big Four accounting firms in the world.
