The cash swap didn\u2019t work. It was terrible then. I realised that I came to Ogun State to invoke the spirit of freedom for which we are noted for,\u201d Mr Tinubu said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI invoked that spirit twice. The spirit of Baba (referring to Awujale). The spirit of Baba \u2013 Emi l\u2019okan (it\u2019s my turn), that\u2019s Baba. The spirit for being blunt and that is him. And the second spirit is that of money (naira scarcity), \u2018ama dibo ama wole\u2019 (we will vote and we will win) even if there is no money. And that, ever since, has been the spirit that is driving me to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tinubu disclosed this at the Palace of Awujale of Ijebu Land, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, when he paid a courtesy visit on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with All Progressives Congress delegates in June 2022 in Ogun state, in the run-up to the party\u2019s primary, Mr Tinubu declared that \u2019emi lo kan\u2019, while narrating how he helped former President Muhammadu Buhari to clinch the presidency in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe tried the first time and failed. He tried a second time and failed. He tried a third time and failed. He even cried on television that he would never run for president again,\u201d Mr Tinubu said. \u201cI went to meet him and told him this is not a crying matter: \u2018we will support you and you will be president\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, in January 2023, during APC presidential campaign in Ogun state, Mr Tinubu accused the Buhari regime of using the raging fuel scarcity and naira redesign and cash handling policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to blunt his chances at the ballot box at the February polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re hoarding fuel and hoarding the naira,\u201d Mr Tinubu said in Abeokuta. \u201cStill, we will vote, and we will win this election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you change the ink of the naira or spend money till you are in debt, things won\u2019t turn out as you hope, we are the ones who will win the election, and our opponents will fail,\u201d he had boasted.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Bola Tinubu says he invoked the \u201cspirit of freedom\u201d in Ijebu land against President Muhammadu Buhari and former Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, when they appeared to be threatening&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":105536,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
