Tinubu told the BBC in London that despite being the most investigated and accused former governor, nothing had been found against him.

Many Nigerians have challenged Tinubu to explain the source of his enormous wealth, and this has been a recurring issue in the current campaign for the 2023 election.

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Bode George during an interview with Yoruba Tooto TV in 2021 alleged that Tinubu is given a monthly income of N9 billion from the state coffers.

He said, “Do you know how much is Lagos state internally generated revenue monthly? N60 billion minimum, and someone (Tinubu) is sitting somewhere, taking 15 percent of it, that’s N9 billion every month.”

Tinubu has however addressed this allegation while speaking on his source of wealth during an interview with the BBC.

During the interview, he accused his critics of envy, explaining that he had many profitable investments.

Responding to the question on the corruption allegation, he said, “You got to know how to analyse and how to ask questions, not in the accusatory format.

“Are they enemies of wealth, if they are not enemies of wealth, investments do yield. I have an example of Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in America and in the world. He started from stock buying. I inherited great real estate, I turned the values around.

“I am not denying my wealth, I was the most investigated, the most accused governor for eight years, up to 2007 and since I left the office, I am still there, I have not taken any government appointment.”

Asked on the allegation that he was taking a certain share of the revenue being generated in Lagos State where he governed between 1999 and 2007, he retorted, “Hey excuse me, share what? Have they proven it? IMF has investigated the record in Lagos. What is wrong with them? It is envy.”
