"We cannot take away the fact that he is rich, Infact everyone knows that he is rich and it’s none of our business, we are only demanding good governance from him and nothing more.
"For now I can only commend him for the improvement in our electricity. That’s it."

"So, because Tinubu is rich, he's above the temptation to mismanage or corruptly influence state resources? That's like saying a rich man can't steal because he's already got enough. It's not about needing the money; it's about power, influence, and perhaps, a lack of accountability. If his wealth was a shield against corruption, why then are Nigerians feeling the pinch more than ever?"
