Nigerians have challenged Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to walk on the streets of Lagos with his security details if truly he is the “Jagaban” as claimed by him on Saturday.
The APC National Leader reiterated that he is “still the Jagaban” when he paid a visit to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the State House in Marina on Saturday, October 24.
While addressing journalists after the meeting with the governor, Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state denied traveling out of Nigeria after the Lekki massacre as reported by some sections of the Nigerian media.
The men suspected to soldiers of the Nigerian Army invaded a peaceful protest at Lekki toll gate on Tuesday evening, October 20, killing #EndSARS protesters in the process.
However, some Nigerians, suspected to be thugs, who were apparently displeased with the killing of the peaceful protesters, stormed the streets in retaliation, vandalizing several monuments in the process. Television Conentinetal and The Nation newspaper as well as Oriental Hotels, linked to Tinubu were destroyed.
Asked about his whereabouts in the past few days, the APC National Leader said, “I didn’t go nowhere; I’m a Lagosian and I still hold the title of Asiwaju of Lagos and I am still a Jagaban.
“Fake news is all over the place. They say Seyi my son was kidnapped and was chased but look at him. I didn’t pay a penny to bring him here,” Tinubu added.
Displeased with Tinubu’s statement, Nigerians took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to challenge Tinubu to walk on the streets of Lagos without his security details to prove that he is the “JAGABAN” as he claims.

Dear Tinubu,
If truly you are Jagaban as you claim, Please walk on the streets of lagos without security.

Even the reporter was shocked and said "Ohh my God" when he heard "I'm still the Jagaban of Lagos".

Apparently, Tinubu can't make a statement without massaging his own ego. It is either he introduced himself as father of all democrats, Asiwaju of Lagos or Jagaban.
The delusion is amusing to see.— Premier (@SodiqTade) October 24, 2020
