Prayer Point: May Bullion vans Miss Their Way Into Your House – Nigerians react
Nigerians, however, have described the explanation of Adewale in defense of his boss, Bola Tinubu, as lies from the pit of hell.
A former aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, said Adewale’s defense runs contrary to that of the former Lagos governor who in 2019 said the bullion vans were his.
“The funniest thing is that Even The Tinubu himself admitted that the bullion vans were his and that their presence in his house was nobody’s business!” Reno recalled.
“Bullion vans got lost and entered Tinubu’s house by mistake? Really? APC is that how gullible you think Nigerians are? Over 2 million houses in Lagos, and the bullion vans did not see any of them to get lost in. They conveniently chose to get lost in Bourdillon?” He further asked.
“Prayer Point: May bullion vans miss their way and land in your house! If you believe, shout a big amen in the comment section!” He prayed.
