Despite Assuming Office With Dispute, Tinubu Boasts Of No Cabal Nor Sponsors To Settle

Despite assuming the Office of President in a widely disputed election, Bola Tinubu stated his campaign did not have cabals or sponsored backing from any individual or institution in the 2023 general election.

Tinubu disclosed this on Thursday during a meeting with Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau at the State House, stating his “victory” at the polls was purely by divine intervention, careful planning, and diligent support of Nigerians who are now demanding good governance in a planned protest #EndBadGovernance.

I have no cabal. I have no sponsors. The money I spent on the elections was my personal fortune. At some point, the odds were against me; banks were locked. But Allah, the Almighty God, said I will be the President. Mine is to now follow the leading and teaching of the Almighty God,” Tinubu stated as issued by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale.

“One of the most potent elements of defence is a good conscience. It is also a defence against corruption.

“What should be uppermost in our minds is our children’s future. We have a lot to teach them on what it takes to be a good citizen and what it takes to be a responsible citizen,” Tinubu stated.

He added that protests, fueled by anger and hate, could degenerate into violence and set the country backwards while reiterating that the nation’s economy is on a gradual but steady path of recovery. He assured citizens that his administration would do more to meet their needs.

“The sponsors of protests do not love our country. They have no love for the nation. They do not understand citizenship. They have alternative passports.

“They are in different parts of the world holding meetings virtually.

“We do not want to turn Nigeria into Sudan. We are talking about hunger, not burials. We have to be careful. We should be cautious with premature politics, politics of hate, and anger.

“The internet has made it possible to hold meetings in artificial settings. They hold meetings and sponsor anger,” Tinubu told the religious leaders, Sheikh Lau, assured continuous sensitisation in response.
