Tinubu battled spiritual forces before inauguration as president – Bisi Akande
Former Governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu battled spiritual forces before his inauguration in May 2023.
He disclosed this while speaking at a one-day lecture organised by an Arewa think tank in Kaduna on Thursday.
The former interim chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said it was not surprising that the opposition tried to prevent Tinubu from winning at the polls.
“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!”
He continued, “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”.
He further revealed that Nigeria has been waxing stronger despite permutations from different quarters, adding that President Tinubu’s one-year anniversary was celebrated in grand style.
