The APC’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has lashed out at those questioning his health status, saying those making such insinuations have nothing else to say but lies and rubbish.
Tinubu spoke in an interview with Kaduna-based Freedom Radio while in Saudi Arabia for Lesser Hajj.
The reporter had asked Tinubu to react to insinuations about his health and fitness and he said: “Ah! I told you where I am now. I just finished performing the umrah. I did the seven rounds of tawaf, I did the seven trips between safa and Marwa by myself. Can a sick person do that?
“That is stale news, my brother. People who are making those insinuations have nothing else to say but lies and rubbish. I have moved round, spoke at different platforms and stood for hours to address different audiences. Before they said I could not walk, they said I could not stand, they are shamed.”
Tinubu said since the campaign started, he had marshalled more original ideas than anyone else, as well as demonstrated knowledge, experience and great capacity to be on top of issues in the country.
“And this job is about ideas and issues regarding leadership of our country. I have all it takes to be the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I am asking people of the country to have confidence and respect for that, look at my background and my previous assignments. I want to serve the country and serve the country very well,” he said.
