Bisi Akande, a former governor of Osun state, says President Bola Tinubu battled spiritual forces before his inauguration in May 2023.
Tinubu marked one year in office on Wednesday.
Speaking at a one-day lecture organised by an Arewa Think in
Kaduna on Thursday, the former interim chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) said it was not surprising that the opposition tried to deny
Tinubu his victory at the polls.
Akande said Nigeria would be more developed under the stewardship of Tinubu.
“The tension and
threats generated in the country by the opposition with the view to deny Tinubu
the presidential victory in the presidential election were not surprising,” he
said.
“Towards the last elections, the prophecy was thick that
Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not become the APC candidate, but he did become.
“Religious clerics of one belief and the other became
sleepless for him not to win the presidential elections, he won!
“Thereafter, spiritual threats and political manoeuvring
began that he would not be inaugurated as a Nigerian president, he assumed the
presidency.
“The battle then shifted to the judicial sword-crossing that
he should be removed from the presidency, but his presidency was upheld. Other
predictions were that he would have no health to manage the office, but he
remained divinely healthy.
“Then the agitation that Nigeria would not survive his
political agenda, Nigeria has been waxing stronger and stronger as one and
united country! One Nigeria is a major part of what we are now celebrating.
“I was the pioneer national chairman of the APC – the great
political party that produced the president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu whose one-year
administrative anniversary was being officially celebrated for over a week up
to yesterday.
“I am therefore
particularly convinced that Nigeria will forever continue to be sustained as a
more peaceful, more developed, more progressive, and a more prosperous country
under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and beyond.”
Akande said Nigerians should think about how to sustain a
united and peaceful Nigeria.
