He also claimed Tinubu hired American political consultants linked to former US President Barack Obama to strengthen the APC’s campaign strategy, alleging that more than N2 billion was spent on the consultants.” The former SGF further alleged that Tinubu financed major aspects of the APC’s 2015 presidential campaign from his personal resources, including funding campaign activities for then vice-presidential candidate Yemi Osinbajo.
