Akande

Former Osun Governor Bisi Akande has disclosed how he convinced Bola Tinubu to run for the presidency in the 2023 election.

In an interview posted on YouTube, Akande shared that he made Tinubu see reasons by highlighting Yoruba tradition.

“I told him, ‘We don’t want you to be president because of you. You are unimportant in this matter. But in Yoruba tradition, when you want to worship the deity, you take the fattest animal or the biggest yam to worship.

“Yoruba wants to be president, and you are the one we have now. It is to sacrifice you so that we can have a president, not for you to be anything.

“He was looking at me as if I was sick or something,” Akande said.

Speaking further, he revealed Tinubu later asked him, “Baba, you now say I should run. What about this, my leg?” referring to his health challenges.

Akande replied to him, “Go and do it. There is still time. You will heal in six months.”
