President Bola Tinubu has stated that Nigeria’s history would not have been complete if he had lost the 2023 presidential election.
Naija News reports that President Tinubu made this known on Sunday, while speaking in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, at the 8th Day Fidau prayers for the late Awujale, Oba Sikiru Adetona.
Tinubu said Nigeria’s history would not have been as complete and rich if he had failed the election.
Paying tributes to Oba Adetona for his role in his political journey and success in the 2023 general elections, Tinubu said the late monarch assured him that he would win the election and secure a re-election.
He praised the late monarch for his wisdom, steadfastness, resoluteness, and encouragement of the June 12 course and democracy.
He said, “Our history would not have been completed, carefully and richly, if I failed the last election.
“I was successful because of your support and the blessing of late Awujale. I came to him, he blessed me.. He said ‘you will win that election and you will win one more time. Go ahead.’
“Today, he is no more. He is gone.”
Tinubu also expressed appreciation to the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, whom he described as “Okanlomo Eleyi of Ogun State” for his role before, during and after the monarch’s burial.
Dignitaries present at the prayers include the Governors of Kwara, Ondo, and Ekiti States, as well as the Deputy Governors of Oyo and Lagos States, and ministers, among others.
