See Why Asiwaju Tinubu Canceled His Annual Colloquium
…….. Pledges 200M To Fight Coronavirus
The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has cancelled the annual colloquium to mark his birthday.
The former Lagos state governor clocked 68 on Sunday.
In his statement, Mr Tinubu blamed the coronavirus outbreak for the cancellation and optimistic it will resume next year.
“Today, but for COVID-19 we would, as we have done for the last twelve years, have celebrated this day with the Bola Tinubu Colloquium. We could not do so this year but by God’s grace we will do so again.
The circumstances this year prevent us from gathering together to celebrate my birthday but I would still like to mark the occasion.”
The ex-governor, however, pledged N200m to support the fight against the pandemic.
“I have chosen today to announce that I will be making a donation of N200 million to fight this deadly virus.
“In pursuant to this pledge, N100 million will be made available to the government of Lagos State and another N100 million to NCDC to support their efforts in fighting the scourge of coronavirus (COVID-19)” said the statement.
