Sokoto-based Islamic cleric Shiekh Bello Yabo says President Bola Tinubu disclosed to clerics and traditional rulers that he bought his way to the presidency.

In a video of one of his sermons, Mr Yabo said Mr Tinubu disclosed this when he met clerics and traditional rulers at the villa last week.

“Tinubu has really impressed me; he invited all the traditional rulers from the North, West and East and told them bluntly that ‘I bought this seat I’m on with money’,” Mr Yabo said.

He added, “Tinubu has never impressed me like now for coming out to tell the naked truth. Whoever pays the piper dictates the tune; isn’t Tinubu telling the truth?”

Mr Yabo derided those who sold their votes during the 2023 presidential elections, adding that all they got in exchange for their votes had now been exhausted as they suffered the consequences of their decision at the polls.

“You have eaten the spaghetti and macaroni you have been given to vote, and now it is finished, it’s all over, so what next? Tinubu says he spent huge sums from the primary elections to the actual presidential election.”

“It’s all over now; let us pray and wait for the next election in 2027. If you like, collect his money again and vote for him, and I assure you, you’ll remain in pain, that’s all,” Mr Yabo said.

Spokespersons for Mr Tinubu, Ajuri Ngelale and Bayo Onanuga could not be reached for comments on the cleric’s claim. While Mr Ngelale’s contact was unreachable, Mr Onanuga answered calls twice and dropped them immediately.

The cleric’s remark comes a few days after Mr Tinubu, at a meeting with clerics and traditional rulers across the country, said he funded and fought his election from his personal money and no cabal support.

“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,” Mr Tinubu said at last week’s meeting.

Salewa97:
This is the kind of statement that sends shivers down the spines of Tinubu's enemies.

They can’t fathom the audacity and success of a man who has defied all odds to claim his rightful place as the leader of Nigeria.

Let them keep talking while Jagaban continues to reign supreme!

The throne isn’t just a seat; it’s a testament to hard work, strategy, and the relentless spirit of a true Nigerian.

God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Long live the Jagaban!

Bought it from who

Bello-yabo is a well known liar in sokoto state nobody take him serious

Bandirao:
you are the biggest liar here

yarimo:
was Bello yabo in attendance?

Bandirao:
No but what he said is blatant truth tunubu forced his way in to the president by bribing some political imams to preach Muslim Muslim ticket and bribing some illiterate with pasta in to electing him,

This is why I will never help anybody that took money from politicians and voted for them. If they have exhausted all the money they collected last year, they should go back to collect more from the politicians, definitely not from me. Some of them took the money and later denied but we took note when they did. One of my aunties was proudly displaying the wrapper and T shirts she collected at that time. She was even blaming my other aunties for not coming out to collect their own share from people she described as "cheerful giving politicians" and not the aka gum like Obi. I saw her one day trekking under the sun and gave her a lift. She was lamenting hardship. I reminded her everything and she didn't speak again until I dropped her off and said bye. I didn't give her shishi and I knew she was expecting me to.

yarimo:
and you want nairalanders to believe someone that was not in the meeting, who decided to speak what he thinks not exactly what the president said.

TINUBU is a man of his word, no doubt! His commitment to the presidency is unmatched, and it's clear he understands the value of investment in leadership.

Bandirao:
even if tunubu don't say that it is a truth that may not be avoided,.

Did tunubu buy the presidency by bribing political imams to preach Muslim Muslim ticket and distributed pasta to some illiterates to elected him, yes or no.
