‘Tinubu Is Not A Pauper, Cannot Loot Nigeria’s Treasury’ – Minister

The Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, has dismissed insinuations that President Bola Tinubu will loot Nigeria’s treasury.

Naija News reports that the minister made this known while speaking at the Joint Union Negotiating Council’s week of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development branch in Abuja.

Olawale described Tinubu as an epitome of wealth who has no interest in looting the country’s resources.

The minister also appealed to Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu, noting that in no distant time, the lives of the citizens will be transformed positively through various policies of the federal government.

He said, “I urge you to be patient with this administration. In no distant time, the country will take good shape, and the lives of the citizens will be transformed.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a pauper; he is an acknowledged epitome of wealth and so it cannot be said of him that he desires to loot the treasury of Nigeria.

“He has seen money and as a result of this, he is not interested in looting the nation’s treasury.”

Olawande thanked the staff of the ministry for being supportive of the government policies and assured them that their welfare will not be compromised.
