Tinubu said this on Friday while addressing members of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria , also known as PSP operators, who visited him to submit a petition on waste management in the state.
The PSP operators , who met Tinubu near his Ikoyi home , had complained that their livelihoods were being threatened under the new government , which had brought in a foreign company to take over the job of managing waste in the state.
Tinubu said , “ I want to correct something and I think I have to do it publicly . The rumour I ’ ve heard all over the state and on social media is that I am the one who brought a foreign company. I am not the owner of Visionscape . Categorically , I ’ m telling you today, I have no penny. Yes , that is the truth . ”
The PSP operators , who were led by their Vice -Chairman , David Oriyomi, and Public Relations Officer , Olugbenga Adebola, put their number at over 350, adding that they had about 25, 000 workers, who stand the risk of losing their jobs.
They pleaded with Tinubu to intervene. After listening to them , Tinubu expressed concerns that waste was returning to the streets of Lagos , adding that it was regrettable that the PSP operators had to resort to writing a petition. He promised to speak with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode with the aim of restoring the old system .

Hmmmmm, that man (BAT) is a demi-god of politics in Nigeria. Speaking to the governor to do his will. In fact he's a god-father

@Libra: I think it is because he is in the same party with Ambode that is why he has access to him.

A liar, always liar. Why should i believe Tinubu when it has been proven that his company Alpha Beta rakes billions of Naira just by collecting tax on behalf of Lagos State, an exercise that can be easily carried out by civil servants. He is nothing less than an economic terrorist.
