Buhari’s Chief of Staff Gambari, IGP visit Tinubu in Lagos

Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari and Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, visited the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, on Sunday in Lagos.

The visit was to ‘symphatise’ over the recent properties were damaged during the fallout of the #EndSARS protests, hijacked by suspected hoodlums.

They were at the Bourdillon residence of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu, a former Senator, is the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

On entourage with Gambari and IGP were some South-West Ministers.

They include Babajide Fashola, Minister of Works and Housing; Lai Mohammed, Minister of information; Minister of State for Health, Olorunimbe Mamora, and Sunday Dare, Minister of Youths and Sports.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was also present at the meeting.

Tinubu posted a group photo of the officials Sunday night.

The visit was to “symphatise” over the recent destruction in Lagos, a message on his Twitter handle read.

Tinubu’s assets – Television Continental (TVC) and The Nation Newspaper – were set ablaze by hoodlums.

The Jagaban, as fondly called, accused the opposition of masterminding the attacks.

Some protesters had believed that the toll gate plaza where the soldiers shot at them was owned by Tinubu.

However, the politician denied making money from the plaza, adding that the rumour of his ownership was politically-motivated.

He said he got prior information that facilities of both The Nation newspaper and TVC were going to be attacked by “certain malevolent elements” hiding under #EndSARS protests, yet he did not send soldiers or policemen there to prevent the attack, because he didn’t want anyone to die.

“There is no rationale that can adequately explain why I would order soldiers to repel peaceful protesters from the tollgate, where I have no financial interest, yet, choose to do nothing to protect my investments in The Nation and TVC,” Tinubu said.
