Tinubu needs help, lacks moral ground to reform Yahoo boys – Atiku-Okowa Campaign

Mr. Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant, Public Communication to the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Parry, Atiku Abubakar, has said the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, lacks the moral ground to even think of reforming internet fraudsters popularly called Yahoo Boys.

Shaibu said this in a statement, in Abuja, late on Friday. He explained that the APC candidate who promised to reform Yahoo boys while addressing APC supporters at a rally in Benin, on Thursday, was yet to come clean about his past links with drug lords in the United States.

He said, “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, produced another comedy skit at the APC Presidenti rally in Benin City on Thursday when he promised to turn ‘the so called Yahoo boys in Edo State to “experts in manufacturing and creation of chips that din dasan dadauga.’

“Had it been he were addressing a Christian congregation we could have assumed that he was speaking in tongues but this was a campaign rally where he was supposed to have sold his candidacy to the millions of youths suffering from unemployment under the disease called the APC.

“ Instead he elected to refer to the young people of Edo state as Yahoo boys and fraudsters.
“Tinubu’s daily gaffes are evidence that he has no business going to Aso Rock Presidential Villa but he should rather be seeking urgent medical attention.“

The Atiku media aide further said, “While delivering his uninspiring speech, he took a swipe at Waziri Atiku Abubakar, insisting that Atiku acted dishonourably by selling vehicles while he was a customs officer.

“Tinubu’s frustration is quite understandable given the fact that in 1989 while Atiku, a Federal officer, was serving as the Deputy Director of Customs in charge of Enforcement and Drugs and was protecting the country’s borders from smugglers and drug dealers, Tinubu was in bed with two notorious drug kingpins, Muiz Akande and Abiodun Agbele.

“American authorities revealed that Akande took Tinubu to First Heritage Bank where he opened an account for himself and his wife Oluremi in 1989.

“While opening the account, the Lagos godfather revealed in documents that he worked with Mobil Nigeria Limited and his salary was $2,400 and he had no other sources of income.

“But records from his First Heritage Bank account showed that in 1990, he deposited $661,000 into his individual money market account and in 1991 deposited $1,216,500 into the same money market account.

“In a bid to protect their reputation, Mobil representatives told US authorities that even though Tinubu was a treasurer, he had no direct access to the company’s cash and thus could not deposit funds on behalf of the firm.“

Shaibu notes that till date Tinubu , the man Governor Nyesom Wike and his friends have signed up to support as President, has not been able to explain how he was able to save over $1.8 million from his monthly pay of $2, 400. Luckily for him, he was able to negotiate a deal with the US government which saw him forfeit over $460,000 in cash.

Shaibu equally said, “This is a man whose entire life is built on falsehood. He is not even brave enough to reveal the primary and secondary schools he attended for fear of the avalanche of dirt that will be unearthed about his life.
“He has continued to avoid debates so that he will not be forced to tell the truth. Yet he has the effrontery to question Atiku Abubakar? What a joke.“
