Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, may be in another round of trouble after Deloitte USA, a leading audit and consulting company, disclaimed him as one of their employees, as per a release from the firm.
An Investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, had hired investigators in the U.S who subpoenaed Deloitte USA for the employment records of the APC candidate.
The result was a terse memo from the company disclaiming Tinubu as one of its ex employees.
Earlier on Sunday, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had sought Tinubu’s disqualification on the ground of Section 137 of the 1999 Constitution, because of the alleged involvement in the forfeiture of $460,000.
PDP claimed there should be no forfeiture in the first place if there was no criminal conspiracy.
Tinubu had in an interview with TheNews Magazine, 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, Hundeyin, said 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.”
