The cashless policy didn\u2019t work; it was terrible then. I realised that. I came to Ogun State to invoke the spirit of freedom for which we are noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI invoked that spirit twice. The spirit of Baba Emilokan. That\u2019s Baba being blunt, being decisive; that\u2019s him; he will tell you. The second spirit is that money or no money, we will do the election and we will win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He thanked them for their loyalty and commitment during those crucial times in the 2023 election.<\/p>\n<p>The President, who described his visit to Ijebu-Ode as a homecoming, told Oba Adetona: \u201cThe way you have taken me, the way you have responded to me, all I can say is thank you.
