‘We stole money to support your campaign; give us appointments’ - Groups tell Tinubu

An amalgamation of support groups across the country under the aegis of G36 Renewed Hope Support Group has called on President Bola Tinubu to compensate them with appointments.

In a press conference held on Wednesday, June 21, the group revealed how they borrowed, stole money to finance his presidential campaign in the 2023 election.

“Your Excellency, you are a grassroots politician, so you are aware of all we must have passed through during the election. Many of our support groups borrowed, begged, indirectly stole and sold our properties to ensure victory for you at the poll”.

“On this note, we are speaking in one voice, appealing to you that we deserve to be compensated,” the group said.

The group’s leader, Samson Bilesanmi, ask President Tinubu to appoint them with roles in the federal board and agencies.

He said; “we know we cannot all be your ministers, special assistants, or chief of staff, but you can appoint us into federal boards and agencies which are over 200 in number.”

In his submission, he urged President Tinubu to disband the earlier amalgamated support group.

“Your Excellency should dissolve the amalgamated and replace it with another name.

“This is because anything given under that umbrella would be cornered by few individuals who could not account for millions given to us during the campaign,” Mr Bilesanmi said.
