You will give us the Nigeria of our dreams-Awujale To Tinubu
During a courtesy visit of President Tinubu to the palace of the Paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, in Ijebu-Ode, the latter expressed in acknowledgement that President Tinubu would undoubtedly give Nigerians the nation of their dreams.
Oba Adetona known as the Awujale encouraged Tinubu who had started well to continue in that manner and ensure fairness in governance.
This was a reaction to Tinubu’s recall on several obstacles he encountered on his path of winning the general election and becoming the President.
Tinubu who visited the Monarch in Ogun State on Thursday said; “Our monies were confiscated. The cashless policy didn’t work, it was terrible then. I realised that I came to this palace to invoke the spirit of freedom which we are noted for.
“I invoked that spirit twice. The spirit of Baba Emilokan. That’s baba (Awujale). Being blunt, being decisive, that’s him, he will tell you. The second spirit is that money or no money (we will do the election and we will win).”
Awujale, in his remarks, however emphasised the need for Tinubu to be fair to all Nigerians and “bring positive changes to Nigeria and Nigerians.”
The monarch said, “You have started well; you must continue that way.
“My joy knows no bounds because I know that you will give us the Nigeria of our dreams.
“It is a must for you to bring positive changes to Nigeria and Nigerians.”
The President also visited the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo,at his palace in Abeokuta
Tinubu arrived in a presidential chopper 5N FG2, Nigeria Air Force, and landed at the Dipo Dina International Stadium in the Ijebu-Ode area of the state at exactly 10.18am.
He was accompanied by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and presidential spokesperson, Dele Alake.
