Chronicle NG reports that the Interior Minister on Monday stated that he had resigned from the company in 2019 and did not have any involvement with the day-to-day running of the company.
“I have to say this; I saw it, and I was shocked because the company in question was a company where I was the director,” Tunji-Ojo told Channels TV.
“About five years ago, I resigned my directorship. Yes, I founded the company 10 years ago. In 2019, when I got to the House of Representatives I won the election precisely, and I resigned. I resigned on February 4, 2019, with a Certified True Copy of Corporate Affairs Commission as far back as 2019 to prove this.”
