I have come here today to tell you that I need your cooperation, blessings and prayer on my ambition to become the president of Nigeria.

Tinubu was quoted as saying “I had obtained and filled the INEC form to go to the Senate, then I realised that I have a Governorship candidate, Mr Babatunde Fashola and Obasanjo was the President, determined to win Lagos state.
I told myself, ‘if I go ahead I will strive to win my seat while leaving Fashola to his fate’. Then one morning I called Ganiyu Solomon and told him to follow me to Abuja, we landed and off we went to INEC office, withdrew my form and handed him another form. Ganiyu was shocked, he asked me for what sir, I said fill the form, he did and that was how I was able to concentrate in the Governorship election, Fashola won and Gani also won his seat. We must make sacrifices,”
In Alaafin Iku baba yeye reply” We have given you our real prayers because you came first and my ancestors have heard this today, THE DESIRE OF YOUR HEART COME 2023 WILL BE REALISED”
