Tinubu Runs away from Holyfield’s punches at Lagos

First, APC leader Bola Tinubu begged superstar boxer Evander Holyfield not to knock him down at a match marking Lagos state’s 50th anniversary.

Next Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos, totally cried off, avoiding any exchange of punches.

Despite the hype heralding the match, Tinubu never showed up at the Landmark Event Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Lagos governor Akinwunmi Ambode was billed as judge, with Prof Wole Soyinka as referee.

Here’s how Soyinka explained the non-match.
