A popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, has narrated his encounter with a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.
He spoke on Tuesday on an Instagram Live Chat with popular journalist, Dele Momodu.
According to Igboho, he met Tinubu during the build-up to a governorship election in Ondo State involving a former governor of the state, Olusegun Mimiko.
The PUNCH quoted him as saying that a former governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, told him that Tinubu requested to see him at his Bourdillon residence in Lagos.
Igboho said he travelled to Lagos and met with Tinubu, who persuaded him not to support the Peoples Democratic Party in the election because the party impeached Ladoja as governor of Oyo State in 2006.
The activist revealed that Tinubu gave him a sum of N2m to fuel his vehicle back to his base.
Igboho also said he never made his money from thuggery, adding that he is a businessman and he deals in cars.
OYOINSIGHT.COM recalls that the a Presidential aide, Babafemi Ojudu had on Monday alleged that Igboho was hired by the PDP to disrupt the 2009 rerun election in Ekiti State before Tinubu talked to him.
