The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said it was not an offence for bullion vans to enter his compound.
Tinubu’s remark was in reaction to the video and pictures of a bullion van driving into his home in Ikoyi, Lagos State on the eve of the Presidential and National Assembly election.
He made his position known to newsmen shortly after casting his vote in Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Tinubu, who voted alongside his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, said since there has been no report that the bullion vans contained electoral materials, he had committed no offence.
He also said he had not stolen government money.
