Why A Naval Officer Slapped Me – Asiwaju Tinubu

The National leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has recounted an experience he had with a Naval officer while in the United State of America.

Tinubu who made this disclosure today, April 3rd, while receiving members of the Lagos state Market women Association t his Bourdillon home, Ikoyi, shared that this happened long ago when he was still hustling as a young man abroad.

In his own word:

One experience I will not forget was when I over-charged a naval officer, who was returning to the country. It was not intentional. Apparently, I didn’t know the direction; there was no GPRS in those days to locate directions. So, he gave me the direction to his house in a Virginia suburb. I gave him the price and the man responded with a slap to my face. He said I should know the correct fare to charge to the location he mentioned. He slapped me and gave me the money.
