‘Tinubu Single-handedly Bought His Way Into Power’ – Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

The National Chairman of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu bought his way into power in 2023.

Naija News reports that Baba-Ahmed, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, said Tinubu personally funded his presidential campaign, and Nigerians did not contribute financially to his bid.

According to him, Tinubu assumed office without adequately studying the country and understanding the factors that led to its challenges.

He said, “He should have understood how this country got to where we are. I can understand that he was sworn in on May 29 and didn’t have time to study.

“He single-handedly bought his way into power. He could quite possibly be the only president who campaigned for and paid for his campaign to become president.

“Maybe that was why he said, ‘Emi Lokan.’ Tinubu is the only president who people didn’t give billions because he had his own money.

“He literally bought his own way into the Villa, and he funded his campaign.”
