Nigerian Man Shuts UBA Accounts After Elumelu Backs Tinubu
OpenLife Nigeria reports that health communication expert Ugochukwu Madu has severed ties with United Bank for Africa, closing all his accounts after the bank’s chairman, Tony Elumelu, voiced support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic agenda.
Elumelu made his endorsement following a private discussion with the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where they examined key economic issues.
Madu, however, responded by withdrawing all his funds and closing the accounts he held jointly with his wife.
“I opened two UBA domicilary (FCY) accounts one for me and another for my wife. When we visited home recently, we withdrew all the money and closed both accounts. You’re free to join or endorse any party but once you endorse a questionable candidate, I withdraw my affiliation,” he said.
“Oh, how will Tony Elumelu now afford to pay rent?”“Oh, you closed your account with $25 in it, what a huge loss to UBA.”
The number of Nigerians that are dumb is staggering and that’s why politicians weaponize your illiteracy to continue to keep you in perpetual poverty.
Do you know what UBA marketers go through under the sun and rain to get someone to open a new NGN account, not to talk of a new USD account?I was begged and followed to open those accounts and I pitied the marketer and opened.
Now, they’ve been closed forever and it’ll forever be in their records of customers they lost.You can weep forever oh ye APC slaves.

He clarified that while everyone has the right to support any political figure, he chooses not to continue patronage of institutions whose leadership endorses politicians he does not support.
