<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to him, the house erected at Plot 25, Ayo Adebanjo Close, Off Adebayo Doherty Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos State, was not financed by Tinubu.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Chief Bisi Akande, a former Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, said in his book, &#8216;My Participations,&#8217; that Adebanjo pestered Bola Tinubu to build the Lekki property for him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Adebanjo, on the other hand, rejected the accusation in a press release issued on Thursday, labeling Akande a &#8220;fool.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Afenifere leader claimed to have sold houses and land in order to build his Lekki mansion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He also mentioned that he borrowed money from a bank to finish the residence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Adebanjo stated during his narrative of how the properties were sold that one of the lands sold was handed to him by the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He explained that Tinubu did not finance his Lekki home; rather, Adebanjo claimed Tinubu did.</span></p>
