Former Governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu faced significant spiritual challenges before his inauguration in May 2023. Akande made this disclosure during a one-day lecture organized by an Arewa think tank in Kaduna on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Akande, who served as the interim chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), recounted the intense opposition and spiritual battles that Tinubu encountered on his path to the presidency. “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,” Akande remarked.<\/p>\n
He elaborated on the adversities Tinubu faced, stating, \u201cTowards 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!\u201d<\/p>\n
Akande continued, \u201cThereafter, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the lecture, Akande emphasized that the relentless opposition was expected, given the high stakes of the presidential race. Despite the spiritual and political obstacles, Tinubu’s resilience and determination saw him through to victory and his subsequent inauguration as president.<\/p>\n
Akande\u2019s revelations highlight the often-unseen battles political figures may face, extending beyond the usual political and legal challenges to include spiritual and prophetic adversities. His narrative underscores the multifaceted nature of Tinubu\u2019s journey to the presidency, suggesting that his success was not solely due to political strategy but also involved overcoming significant spiritual opposition.<\/p>\n
The former governor\u2019s account adds a new dimension to the understanding of Tinubu\u2019s path to power, shedding light on the intense personal and spiritual struggles that accompanied his political journey. As Tinubu continues his tenure, Akande\u2019s insights provide a poignant reminder of the diverse challenges leaders may encounter and the fortitude required to surmount them.<\/p>\n
Akande concluded his speech by urging Nigerians to support President Tinubu as he leads the nation. He called for unity and collective effort in addressing the country\u2019s challenges, emphasizing that overcoming adversity requires both spiritual and practical resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
