I INVOKED ‘EMI L’OKAN’ SPIRIT TO WIN DESPITE CASHLESS POLICY, SAYS TINUBU

In what looked like a veiled response to the diatribe by his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, President Bola Tinubu, yesterday, said irrespective of the cashless policy or not, his victory at the last presidential election was bound to happen.

According to him, he was hopeful and optimistic about achieving victory in the election, despite the ineffective cashless policy implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

He made this known in separate remarks at the palace of the Paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, in Ijebu-Ode, and in Abeokuta at the palace of Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, during a thank-you visit to the royal fathers in Ogun State.

Reflecting on the challenges in the build-up to the 2023 presidential election, President Tinubu recounted his concerns about the confiscation of funds and failure of the cashless policy, and how he had previously sought wisdom and guidance from Oba Adetona during his visit to the palace.
