APC Campaign Team Speaks On Latest ‘Deloitte’ Revelation On Tinubu’s Employment

The media team of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has dismissed questions on whether their principal was an employee of United States company, Deloitte.

Recall that Tinubu, in an interview published on PM News, had said, ”I resumed work at Deloitte training school in June 1979. By April 1979, when I was graduating, I had gotten my future charted. And that was the greatest thing I achieved in America”.

However, Deloitte said Tinubu never worked with the firm at any time, and they don’t have his employment records in their history.

The letter from Deloitte, dated September 20, 2022, partly read, “We received a subpoena 16 September 2022, seeking employment records for Bola Tinubu, SSN…. Please be advised that we have no record of Bola Tinubu in our systems and, as such, have no employment records for them.”

Reacting, the Director, Media, and Publicity, at Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, said the campaign team is only focusing on the flag off of its presidential rally in Jos.

On if Tinubu worked with Deloitte, Onanuga told Daily Independent not to believe everything on social media.

“Do you believe everything you read on social media? Right now, our focus is on our festival in Jos tomorrow. We will not respond to irrelevant questions,” he said.
