The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has dismissed claims that he relies on payments made at the Lekki toll gate.
His clarification was contained in a statement on Sunday titled ‘The End SARS protests; fundamental lesson in democratic governance’.
The former Lagos State Governor has been repeatedly linked to the Lekki Concession Company (LCC).
LCC constructed and controls the Lekki-Ajah axis.
In his reaction, Tinubu insists he has no stake in LCC.
He went on to declare that his income remains the same without earnings from toll collection.
“I ask people to thoroughly investigate the matter of my alleged ownership of the toll gate. By seeking facts, instead of being swayed by gossip, you will find I have no ownership interest or involvement in the toll gate.
“Having no business interests in the operation, my income remains unchanged whether one or 100,000 vehicles pass through that gate”, the politician asserted.
