President Bola Tinubu has said he won the presidential election despite overwhelming odds against him and the massive obstacles in his paths in the build up to the polls.<\/p>\n
The President made this known on Thursday at the palace of the Paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, in Ijebu-Ode, during what he called a thank-you visit to the monarch.<\/p>\n
Tinubu, who was in Ogun State on a private visit, also visited the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo,at his palace in Abeokuta.<\/p>\n
At the palace of Oba Adetona in Ijebu-Ode, Tinubu said his path to Presidency was paved with many impediments, adding that he had to invoke the spirit of \u2018Baba Emilokan\u2019 to surmount various challenges, including the naira redesign and cashless policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria ahead of the general elections.<\/p>\n
Tinubu said, \u201cOur monies were confiscated. The cashless policy didn\u2019t work, it was terrible then. I realised that I came to this palace to invoke the spirit of freedom which we are noted for.<\/p>\n
\u201cI invoked that spirit twice. The spirit of Baba Emilokan. That\u2019s baba (Awujale). Being blunt, being decisive, that\u2019s him, he will tell you. The second spirit is that money or no money (we will do the election and we will win).\u201d<\/p>\n
Awujale, in his remarks, urged Tinubu to be fair to all Nigerians in everything he does.<\/p>\n
The monarch said, \u201cYou have started well; you must continue that way.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy joy knows no bounds because I know that you will give us the Nigeria of our dreams.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a must for you to bring positive changes to Nigeria and Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
