Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has made a statement which is stirring reactions from the Nigerian electorates.
He urged Nigerians to stop using expensive cars like Mercedes Benz and Lexus if they see borrowing as a crime.
The former Governor of Lagos State who was speaking during a presentation of his campaign manifesto on Friday in Abuja, talked about the nation’s debt and backed the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to continue borrowing.
Tinubu said: “I stand before you proudly, noting that those who are afraid of the budget, the thoughts of borrowing. Yes, borrowing. If borrowing is a crime, entire America should be in jail. If borrowing is a crime, stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus”.
