“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.”
”In a bold and unwavering statement, the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has asserted that his administration is free from the control and influence of any cabal. He emphasized that the financial resources used during his election campaign were entirely his personal fortune, underscoring his independence and commitment to the nation’s welfare.
During a meeting with a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau at the State House in Abuja, President Tinubu revealed the challenges he faced during his campaign. He recounted how the closure of banks during the period created significant obstacles, yet he emerged victorious. “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,” Tinubu declared.
President Tinubu emphasized that a good conscience is one of the most potent defenses against corruption. He highlighted the importance of teaching future generations the values of good citizenship and responsibility. “What should be uppermost in our minds is the future of our children. 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,” he stated.
In light of a planned nationwide protest by certain groups, President Tinubu urged the organizers to reconsider their stance. He cautioned that protests fueled by anger and hate could escalate into violence and set the country back. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to meeting the needs of Nigerians and reassured citizens that steps are being taken to improve social welfare and economic support.
