President Bola Tinubu on Thursday addressed concerns about potential manipulation by interest groups in the ongoing economic reforms, emphasising that his campaign was entirely self-funded and free from any obligations to individuals or institutions.
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu made these remarks during a meeting with a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau at the State House.
He described his electoral victory as the result of divine intervention, meticulous planning, and the support of the Nigerian people.
“I have no cabal. I have no sponsors. The funds I used for the elections came from my resources. There were times when the odds were against me; banks were closed. But Allah, the Almighty God, declared that I would be President.
