The organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayodele Adewale has claimed the bullion vans seen driving into the residence of current presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu, a day to the 2019 presidential election “missed its way there.”
Speaking on Arise TV on Thursday morning, Adewale said, “That bullion van missed its way there, and it was not invited by Asiwaju or anybody,”
The statement, however, counters Tinubu’s claims, who acknowledged that the bullion vans he had parked in his home in Bourdillon did indeed contain money and not ballots as his opponents had claimed.
Tinubu had stated that he was free to bring his money to his house while addressing reporters in 2019.
“Bullion vans? Are those ballot papers? “Excuse me, is it my money or government money? I don’t work for government,” Tinubu had stated.

“I am not in agency of government. (sic) Let anybody come out to say I have taken any contract from the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last five years.”
He added, “They should prove it. I am on my own, and I am committed to my party. So, even if I have money to spend on my premises. What is your headache?”
Adewale, however, insisted that the former Lagos governor was joking when he made the statement.
