He also stated Tinubu financed major campaign activities for Yemi Osinbajo, including hiring a chartered plane and employing American consultants linked to Barack Obama, with over N2 billion spent.Lawal criticized Tinubu’s current administration as a failure, accusing officials of prioritizing personal interests over national welfare.
