Some Persons Told The Presidency I Sponsored #EndSars Protests, Says Tinubu

Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state, has denied any
involvement in the #EndSARS protests

Speaking during a Channels TV programme on Wednesday, the
national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said some
persons lied to the presidency that he is behind the protests.

He also condemned security operatives for firing live bullets at
protesters in Lekki.

Speaking via phone during the television programme, Tinubu also
denied having any investment in the Lekki Concession Company,
saying: “I have no dime, no kobo investment in the toll gate.”

“I will never, never be part of any carnage. I will never be
part of that. Why will they use live bullets?

“Before now, I was being accused and reported to the Presidency
that I was behind the protests, that I was a sponsor of the
protests.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the former governor had cautioned protesters
against giving the impression that they wanted to cause anarchy,
saying that “any government will necessarily have to act with the
requisite decisiveness and force to restore law and order” if that
happens to be the case.
