Asiwaju Bola Tinubu

Presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said no amount of intimidation and blackmail would stop him from aspiring to be president of the country, adding that he was equally ready get dirty with his traducers.
Tinubu said this when he visited the Olubadan-designate, Dr. Lekan Balogun, at his Alarere residence in Ibadan, Oyo State on Sunday.
He added that he was ready to be dirty with anyone in his quest to become the President of the country. He stated that he came to the newly appointed Olubadan and by extension to Ibadan people to solicit for their support.
Tinubu who was accompanied by the top members of his campaign group, said he was honoured to be in Ibadan, noting that the purpose was to beg the monarch and Ibadan people to pray for him in his quest to become the country’s president in 2023.
He described this period as an historical moment and a reminder of history, recalling that each time a Yoruba person wants to be president, issues are raised, questions are asked and all sorts of obstacles are encountered.
“I come here to request for your prayer for me and the Yoruba race. We are at a crossroad, people are volunteering to confront me when they were asked that who would confront the lion of Bourdilon,” Tinubu stated.
Expressing his readiness and determination, the APC presidential hopeful said, “I am out to become President of Nigeria. No intimidation, no blackmail can stop me. I have read about a Greek philosopher that if you want to fight a pig, you must be ready to be smeared and I’m ready to be dirty.”
Tinubu congratulated the new Olubadan for the grace to ascend the throne which he said would give the ancient city a new outlook.
