  "account": "Comedian and social media personality Mr Jollof has defended the viral Toyota Prado vehicles reportedly purchased for the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign, stating they are personal donations from individuals who benefited from President Bola Tinubu. In a video circulating on Tuesday, Mr Jollof dismissed claims that public funds were used to purchase the vehicles, asserting that wealthy individuals contributed their personal resources to support the President's re-election bid. Mr Jollof said if he had money to spare, he could donate up to 50 Prado vehicles or Lexus LS600 cars, emphasizing that it's his own money and he can support the APC in any way to ensure their victory. He also mentioned a man who has donated over 20 brand-new Toyota Hiace buses for campaign purposes, having already arranged for 10 to be given in support of the election. These donations, according to Mr Jollof, are legitimate contributions from individuals who want to support the APC's campaign, accusing critics of spreading misleading narratives. The comedian further warned against presenting the vehicles as evidence of the diversion of public funds, insisting that individuals are free to deploy their resources in support of their preferred candidates.",
