Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has distanced himself from claims of owning a company awarded a contract by the suspended Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu.
Some media reports had claimed that a firm allegedly owned by the minister had gotten N438 million as “consultancy fees” from the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Betta Edu.
But Olubunmi has denied owning the firm, saying he is not a signatory to the company.
He explained that he had founded the company alongside his wife but resigned owing to his political ambition.
He further explained that he came into public office with a commitment to base his service on sincerity of purpose and openness.
