The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said those inviting him for debates are only trying to use him to make money because he’s a marketable individual. The former governor of Lagos Stated said this at Chatham House in London on Monday, while fielding questions from the audience on why he snubbed debates in his country. This comes barely 24 hours after he snubbed a Town Hall meeting attended by three other candidates in the 2023 presidential race. Tinubu said, “I see myself as a marketable individual. You want to use me to make money and I’m saying no.” The Jagaban further clarifies that his date of birth remains March 29, 1952. He equally states that he had received his original certificates from the Chicago State University where he graduated from. He ended by noting that politics is a dirty game and anyone who wishes to play must be ready to wrestle with the pigs.

He added that $10bn would be set aside for this purpose. Atiku urged all Lagosians to set themselves free from one-family rule and vote the PDP candidate come 2023 general elections.

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has denied any involvement in the recent attacks on INEC offices in Owerri, Imo State. Imo State is an Igbo state in the South Eastern part of Nigeria. Recall that Nigeria Today News, reported recently that two offices belonging to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were attacked successively by unidentified persons in which scores of critical infrastructures were destroyed. Meanwhile, the leadership of the organization has distanced themselves from the attacks, noting that IPOB would never engage in the destruction of electoral facilities. In a statement by IPOB’ Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group also distanced itself from the purported message making rounds in which an unidentified male voice is heard warning people in the South East to stay indoors and observe a sit-at-home on December 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14. The voice further warned that anyone who disobeys the order would be killed. Emma stated that IPOB never issued such orders and called on the state and Federal government to arrest such individual as they are nothing but criminals.
