  "account": "Comedian Mr Jollof has defended recent viral videos showing all-new Toyota Prado vehicles earmarked for the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign. Mr Jollof, a comedian and social media personality, clarified that these vehicles were donated by individuals who have benefited from President Bola Tinubu's administration. In a video that went viral on Tuesday, Mr Jollof dismissed claims that public funds were used to purchase the cars, stating that wealthy individuals were contributing their personal resources to support Tinubu's re-election campaign. He emphasized that if he had the money, he would use it to support the APC with vehicles and other resources. Mr Jollof also highlighted a fellow donor who has bought over 20 brand-new Toyota Hiace buses for the campaign, saying the money for these purchases came from the donors' pockets. He accused critics of spreading false narratives about the vehicles and warned against presenting the donations as evidence of public fund diversion. Mr Jollof maintained that the vehicles were legitimate contributions from individuals who wanted to support the APC's campaign efforts and urged the public to support their preferred candidates with their time and resources.",
