Meanwhile, Tinubu also spoke about his source of wealth, saying those criticising him were driven by envy.

According to him, his wealth came from investments in real estate.

In another report, Phrank Shaibu, the special assistant to Atiku Abubakar on public communications, has described Tinubu's recent outing at Chatham House as disgraceful.

The media aide to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate advised the APC presidential aide to quit the race, go home and rest.

“After reading his prepared speech for about 15 minutes, it was time for the question and answer session. Clearly lacking the capacity to respond to easy questions, he claimed his style is to delegate and thereafter decided to call on members of his campaign to answer questions for him," Shaibu said in a statement sent to Legit.ng on Tuesday, December 5, as he recalled Tinubu's outing in London.
