Sen. Bola Tinubu, an All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, says his moral authority plays a role in his ability to influence elections.
He also said that other tools that helped him
influence elections were his skills as a veteran politician and
dedication to campaigning and mobilising his own party members.
Tinubu
said this on Friday in Lagos while responding to an advertorial in the
media, alleging that he met with the INEC Chairman to influence the
Sokoto State governorship rerun election in favour of the APC.

Our
attention has been drawn to a partisan advertorial in the March 21
edition of Daily Trust, entitled – ‘Inconclusive Gubernatorial Election:
Sokoto People Warn Tinubu, Oshiomole, Yari, Bagudu and others’.
“The
advertorial, placed by an organisation called the Sokoto State
Coalition of PDP Supporters, bears the logo of PDP National Youth League
and is signed by one Engr. Haruna Usman Shagari.
“The advert
made baseless allegations against myself, Comrade Adams Oshiomole,
Chairman of APC, Sen. Adamu Aliero and Gov. Abdul’Aziz Yari of Zamfara.
“It
falsely alleges that I, along with the others, met the INEC Chairman,
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu in order to influence the Sokoto State
gubernatorial rerun election in favour of the APC.
“These
allegations by a contrived PDP organ are desperate untruths without a
basis in fact. But they are entirely in line with the delusional
reactions of PDP to their loss in the presidential elections,” he said.
