President Bola Tinubu has assured that any cabals or sponsors will not influence his administration's economic reforms because he financed his election with his money.

I sponsored my campaigns. Tinubu brags
Tinubu emphasized that his campaign was self-sponsored, without any strings or indebtedness to individuals or institutions.
He attributed his victory to divine intervention, careful planning, and support from Nigerians. The President stated that he has no cabal or sponsors and spent his personal fortune on the elections.
Tinubu emphasized the importance of a good conscience as a defence against corruption. He urged focus on the future of Nigerian children and teaching them responsible citizenship.
Why hunger protest is destructive
The President warned that protests fueled by anger and hate could lead to violence and set the country back. He then announced plans to rework social welfare schemes to reach the ward level and support the poor and vulnerable.
He highlighted initiatives such as student loans, consumer credit, and increased minimum wage. The President accused sponsors of protests of prioritizing selfish ambitions over national interest and lacking love for the country.
His statement reads in part:
“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."Sheikh Bala Lau assured the President of support with prayers and sensitization, emphasizing the importance of peace in the country.
