No Lagos indigene has had the opportunity to become President of Nigeria, I took up the fight to break the jinx – Tinubu

Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Bola Tinubu has claimed that there was an attack on his person before the Party’s presidential primary.

He said this on Sunday when he paid a visit to the palace of the Oba of Lagos, Alayeluwa Rilwan Akiolu.

According to the Former Lagos State Governor, no indigene from the state has ever become president of Nigeria and as such he took it upon himself to break the Jinx.

He said, “No Lagos indigene has had the opportunity to become President of Nigeria despite the contribution of the State to the national stability and progress.

“The highest position attained by any Lagosian in national leadership is the position of Chief Judge of the Federation.

“I took up the fight to break this jinx. The battle to secure the APC ticket was hard. When I was almost fed up, I resorted to prayers. I also poured out my mind when I felt there was a gang up against my person. Thank God that I have brought home the presidential ticket.”
