The ex-militant leader claimed he �emptied his bank account� to back Tinubu, emphasizing his personal commitment to the President�s success in the election.
His support, he noted, was driven by loyalty rather than personal gain.
Speaking on his commitment, he said, �If Tinubu encounters any difficulty, I will still stick out my neck and stand for him because, at a time, he stood for me.
�In all my podcasts, I personally said my needs are very small, so what I�m trying to say is very clear: with Tinubu becoming president, I should be able to tell him the truth.
�I can�t be appointed as a minister or into any board; I did not lobby for anything, so it�s not personal. Yes, I emptied my bank account and spent over two million US dollars; I can�t count what I spent in Naira. I didn�t take a dime from anybody except Ijakry, who gave me N300 million.�
