“Bola Didn’t Make Himself President; We Did” — Osoba Urges Forgiveness for Tinubu
Former Ogun State governor Olusegun Osoba has urged Nigerians to overlook President Bola Tinubu’s shortcomings as he embarks on his second term.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) South West Zone Assembly meeting held in Lagos, Osoba expressed his belief in Tinubu’s capacity to improve and fulfill his promises to the nation.
Osoba emphasized that the Yoruba people stand firmly behind Tinubu’s presidency, asserting their confidence in his leadership.
He remarked, “The Yoruba community is united in support of Tinubu, and we believe he has what it takes to deliver on his commitments during his time in office.”
He further highlighted that it was the collective decision of Nigerians that brought Tinubu to power.
“Bola didn’t just become the President of Nigeria on his own; we made that choice together as a nation,” Osoba stated, reinforcing the idea that the president is accountable to the people who elected him.
The former governor’s comments reflect a strong sense of solidarity among the Yoruba people, as they rally around their leader, urging the public to remain hopeful and supportive as Tinubu settles into his role.
With a commitment to a better future, Osoba’s message seeks to foster unity and confidence in the government as it navigates the challenges ahead.
The Presidency has reacted to the ongoing dispute between former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and the state government over the state’s finances.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said Obi had claimed he left Anambra debt-free and promised to stop his presidential campaign if proven wrong.
Onanuga said the Anambra government had presented figures showing outstanding obligations to workers, pensioners and contractors under Obi’s administration.
Obi, however, denied the claims, saying his administration cleared over ₦35 billion in historical gratuities and arrears before leaving office.
“If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning,” Obi said.
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has spoken about why he believes Igbos are supporting President Bola Tinubu’s bid for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
He said the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has given Igbos greater access to the president.
He said “We Igbos now have access to Mr. President Tinubu through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected.”
Cubana Chief Priest also spoke about the growing support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, saying “Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don’t just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let’s do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it’s zero competition.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
