The National Leader of the national ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed has declared during his recent visits to the palace of the Monarchs of Oyo State that he is ready to fight dirty to achieve his lifelong dream of becoming the president of Nigeria.

In the viral video, it was alleged that the former Senator had some issues with controlling his bladder and was in need of diapers. But on his latest visit to the another Yoruba monarch in Oyo State at the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo during his consultation with the Alaafin, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, and the Olubadan-elect, Chief Lekan Balogun, he said;
“I am out to become president of Nigeria. No intimidation, no blackmail can stop me. I have read about a greek philosopher that if you want to fight a pig, you must be ready to be smeared and I’m ready to be dirty. We are at the crossroads.” the APC leader said.
Tinubu said his visit to Oyo and Ibadan was borne out of his respect for the royal stool, and to seek the blessings and cooperation of the traditional leaders for his 2023 aspiration. He further enunciated that he could not seek to become Nigeria’s president without the support of the traditional leaders, adding that the Yoruba ethnic group needed to occupy more political positions at the federal level.
“I cannot embark on a project of such magnitude without seeking for prayers and cooperation of the traditional rulers.
“I am here to inform our fathers of my decision to run for the position of the President of this country in 2023. What I need from our highly reverred traditional rulers are their prayers and cooperation.
“Today, by the special grace of God, in Yorubaland unlike before, we have the Vice-President, the Minister of Works, Interior and Sports but we still need more.” Tinubu
Reacting, Oba Adeyemi prayed that all the ancestors of Yorubaland would work Tinubu’s favour and answer his prayers.

The monarch also asked the 10 Oke-Ogun traditional rulers in attendance at the meeting whether they were in support of his decision.
‘We are fully in support,’ they responded.
At the palace of the Olubadan-elect, the monarch praised Tinubu saying he knew his antecedents as a progressive.
“We have known you and we know your antecedent. We know your antecedents as a progressive. You laid the foundation of today’s Lagos. You are the leading light of Nigeria. You contributed to making Nigeria what it is today.
“Without Yoruba, Nigeria will not be what it is today. Nigeria is badly divided. We are looking forward to a Yoruba president who will unite this country. We need a leader that will have a national focus and national acceptability. The road may be rough but by His grace, you will triumph,” the monarch said
