“Yes, if you want to wrestle with the pig, you’ve got to live with the dirt. That’s what I’m doing. I got into politics knowing fully well that it is muddy water. Smog will come, and you will have to live with the dirt and make sure you are upright to finish the job.”

As reported by the Punch newspaper, Tinubu revealed that the controversy surrounding his studentship at the Chicago State University had been put to rest, noting that the institution has handed him a replacement for his misplaced certificate.

He stated that he does encourage violence, and he will continue to be an advocate against electoral violence.
Tinubu said:
“I stand firmly against all forms of electoral violence and intimidation.
“Haven spent most of my career in political opposition, I have long fought against electoral malpractice and any attempt to extinguish the legitimate choice of voters. I will continue to do so, I promise.”
The APC chieftain, however, urged his fellow candidates to uphold and preach the same message as the election approaches its penultimate month.
