I made my first $1m while working in U.S —Tinubu
Nigeria’s 2023 presidential aspirant and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Sen. Bola Tinubu has opened up on how he made his first one million dollars plus.
Tinubu made this known in a throwback interview with TheNews Magazine in 2016, following questions being raised about the source of his stupendous wealth, with many urging him to explain it.
He said, “At Deloitte and Touche, I chose to travel more than 80 per cent of my working years there. And that is because if a staff chose to travel, he would make more money because he would get travel allowances,”
“We had gone there to set up their accounting and auditing system. It was while on that service that I got my financial break.
“When I returned to the United States, my employers gave me a huge bonus, which instantly turned me into a millionaire.
“The bonus was $850,000, before taxes. My salaries were also being paid into the bank and I was not touching them.
“At that time, my salary deposits in the bank had risen to about $1.8 million,” he added.
