Tinubu had during a visit to APC delegates in Abeokuta explained his role in the governor’s victory during the 2019 election.
He claimed that APC stakeholders had rejected the Ogun governor but his intervention changed the game.
“Dapo that’s sitting down here, could he have become Governor without me?” he said during the event on Thursday.
“We were at the stadium; they tore all his posters. Even the party flag, they didn’t want to hand over it to him. I was the one who brought it. If he wants to meet God at the right place, he must know that without God and me, he would not have become Governor.”
