APC To Sanction Member Over Comments on Bullion Vans that Entered Tinubu’s Residence (video)

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has promised to sanction a senior official of the party in Lagos State over the bullion vans that entered Tinubu’s Bourdillon Road residence, Ikoyi in 2019.

Ayodele Adewale, the APC Organising Secretary, during an interview on Arise TV said the bullion vans missed their way to Tinubu’s Bourdillon home.

He added that they were even empty as no cash stashed in any of the vans.

While fielding questions with Arise TV crew, he said, “On the bullion van or no bullion van and all of that, I think that matter has been put to rest. There was no money in the bullion van. The bullion vans that even came missed their way to have come there.

“I was in that house on that very day and it was not on an election day. The bullion vans missed their way to have come there.”

An APC official who spoke with Daily Independent on conditions of anonymity said Adewale was not authorized to speak by the party.

He added that Adewale, a former chairman of Amuwo-Odofin Local Government will be sanctioned for the interview.

The APC official said, “The Lagos APC never asked him to represent us at any interview. He only went there to embarrass himself and not our party. Everything he said during the interview was his personal opinion. He neither spoke for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu nor for the party.

“Asiwaju Tinubu had already addressed the issue of the bullion vans and that settles it. Adewale is not his media aide or the spokesman of the party. He just wanted to be in the spotlight and for the wrong reasons.

“I’m certain disciplinary action will be taken against him because there is a directive from the leadership of the party to avoid granting interviews to Arise TV due to their hostile attitude to our presidential candidate. Adewale wilfully ignored that directives and he will pay for it. I think he just made the greatest mistake of his political life.”
