The United State of America, USA leading audit consultancy firm has denied that Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC was in his employ.
Tinubu, who according to political pundits is in a three-horse race with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the PDP and Labour Party, LP in the 2023 presidential election, has been accused of lying under oath in his quest to occupy the nation’s highest office.
Just recently, a US court released a court document containing the conviction of the former governor of Lagos state and APC National Leader on narcotic-related charges.
The former governor has insisted that he had never been convicted of a crime while he was living the US.
Tinubu also claimed that he worked with Deloitte in his quest to prove that he was okay financially before he came back to Nigeria to join politics.
But the audit firm has now released a document where it claimed that Tinubu was never on its employ because it does not have any record of his engagement.
In the interview with TheNews Magazine, Tinubu, claimed he had a salary deposit of about $1.8 million while working with Deloitte and Touche.
He said, “My bonus was $850,000 before taxes. My salaries were also being paid into the bank and I was not touching them. At the time, my salary deposit in the bank had risen to $1.8million.”
However, digging deeper into the claims by Tinubu, investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, said he subpoenaed Deloitte USA for the employment records of the APC candidate.
His findings were posted on his verified Twitter handle, @DavidHundeyin, where it was reported that Deloitte could not produce any record with the name sent for inquiry.
Media aide to Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, on his verified tweeter handle, also said of Tinubu’s various scandal.
“In 1999 Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT lied under oath in his @inecnigeria form CF001, when he claimed to have attended The University of Chicago @UChicago & Govt College Ibadan. But the attached notarised document proves beyond reasonable doubts that Tinubu lied under oath.
“The certified true copy of his own affidavit is hereby placed side-by-side with the notarised document to show that he did not only lie on oath but forged the documents. Yes, it is 30 years since Bola Tinubu lied under oath, but crime does not rot.”
