Former Lagos state Governor and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has claimed that there was a serious gang -up against him before the presidential election was held.
Tinubu stated this on Sunday, after he returned to Lagos State for the first time after beating off ex-Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, among others to become the ruling party’s candidate for next year’s election.
The Jagaban of Borgu made this statement at the palace of Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu on Sunday evening upon return from his trip.
he said “No Lagos indigene has had the opportunity to become President of Nigeria despite the contribution of the State to the national stability and progress.
“The highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation.
“I took up the fight to break this jinx. The battle to secure the APC ticket was hard. When I was almost fed up, I resorted to prayers. I also poured out my mind when I felt there was a gang up against my person. Thank God that I have brought home the presidential ticket.”
Tinubu will slug the presidential contest out with Alhaji Atiku of the People’s Democratic Party and Peter Obi of Labour in the 2023 general elections.
