The Jagaban
of Borgu Kingdom and Asiwaju of Lagos, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on the move again
as he has taken his quest for the best that money could buy to the next level.
A close
source to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader revealed that the
likeable politician is now the temporary 'landlord' of a suite in the elitist
Donald Trump Plaza in Chicago, USA.
“You know
that Asiwaju owns many properties across the world, including Chicago, where he
once lived for many years, he has now decided to move a step further by
shelling out $2 million on a prestigious suite in the plaza to enable him have
more time for his schedule. You know 2015 is around the corner and being a
major player in who gets what, he has to start planning, it is not everything
you do from your home, one needs a serene place to do this
And many
more, including meetings with some world leaders and there is no better place
to do this than the kind of environment a personality like Donald Trump revels
in.
“If you
think money can't buy you happiness, my friend, you don't know where to stop,
Tinubu is a man of great taste and standard, hence his decision to part with
$2m, which to him is nothing compared to the kind of status and returns it will
bring to him,” said a source.
The hotel
itself is strategically located by the river side; this is where he now meets
with the high and mighty.
Our source
disclosed that it is a yearly agreement that gives him a propriety right as the
owner of the suite.
The hotel
cannot lodge another guest in that suite whether he's around or not though he
may be subjected to other minor taxes and maintenance costs.
We gathered
that a $2 million property is a big deal by American standard, which is enough
to raise eyebrow even from the government.
Our
investigations revealed that Bola Tinubu acquired the suite after his rumoured
attempt at buying President Barrack Obama's house in Hyde Park, Chicago failed.
President
Obama was said to have instructed that the house should on no account be sold
to a third world leader or politician due largely to their corrupt practices or
wrongful manner of amazing wealth.
'The modest
home is located at Hyde Park, the park is where the University of Chicago is
located, Tinubu would've made a strong statement if the deal had gone through,
but for Obama,” our source said.
Apparently,
President Obama doesn't need the inevitable controversy and scandal that is
bound to follow such a sale.
'You realize
that as a junior senator from Illinois in 2006, he called Nigeria a failed
state,' said the source.
Further
investigations revealed that President Obama's action was not directly aimed at
Tinubu, but just to show his annoyance at the level of decay in Africa and his
apparent level of most third world nations.
“Obama has
some level of respect for Tinubu, hence his decision to meet him over breakfast
in Ghana not long after his first inauguration.
You can also
recall that Tinubu was one of the opposition leaders that graced his
inauguration,” our source added.
