Tinubu opens up on Lekki killings

“I will never, never be part of any carnage. I will never be part of that.”

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has said he would never be part of any carnage.
Speaking with Channels in a telephone interview on Wednesday, October 21, the former governor of Lagos state, condemned the action allegedly perpetrated by the Nigerian Army, saying:
“Why will they use live bullets?

“I will never, never be part of any carnage. I will never be part of that.”

The APC leader also denied having any investment in the Lekki Concession Company (LCC), the firm which manages the tollgate.
Tinubu added:

“I have no dime, no kobo investment in the tollgate. We are about 13 to 14 days into the protests now. Before now, I was being accused and reported to the Presidency that I was behind the protests, that I was a sponsor of the protests.

He refuted the allegations and appealed to the youths, asking Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to respond to the demands of the protesters.
Tinubu noted:

“That was why he (Sanwo-Olu) set up the Judicial Commission of Inquiry. The governor has gone to the home of one of the victims to appeal to them. He has put N200m together as part of restitution and compensation for those attacked.
