President Bola Tinubu, has declared that his administration is not under the control or influence of any cabal.
According to him, he spent his personal fortunes for election, and, therefore not responsible to any cabal under whatever guise.
Tinubu said that even though the banks were closed during the campaign period, God gave him victory and made him the President of Nigeria.
The president made the assertion on Thursday when he hosted a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau, at the State House in Abuja.
He said, “I have no cabal. I have no sponsors. The money I spent on the elections was my personal fortune. At some point, the odds were against me; banks were locked. But Allah, the Almighty God, said I will be the President. Mine is to now follow the leading and teaching of the Almighty God.
“One of the most potent elements of defence is a good conscience. It is also a defence against corruption.
“What should be uppermost in our minds is the future of our children. We have a lot to teach them on what it takes to be a good citizen and what it takes to be a responsible citizen.“
On the planned nationwide protest by some groups, President Tinubu urged the organizers to have a change of heart, noting that protests, fuelled by anger and hate, could degenerate into violence and set the country backwards.
He assured of the commitment of his government to meeting the needs of Nigerians.
