Before becoming a special aide to the president, Tunde was said to be making ends meet on the proceeds got from the sale of call cards in his community.
Within a short distance of time of becoming an aide to the president, it is said that Tunde has become one of the richest young men in the country. He has become an influential and powerful individual in Aso Villa.
