2023: I have shamed my detractors -Tinubu
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu says all those who said he has health challenges and unfit to rule Nigeria have been put to shame.
Daily Independent reports that Tinubu who spoke with Kaduna-based Freedom Radio while in Saudi Arabia for Lesser Hajj in an interview monitored in Nigeria said no sick person could accomplish what he has done since emerging as the flag bearer of the APC in June 2022.
The former Governor of Lagos State , who just performed the lesser hajj (Umrah) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia and has returned to Nigeria said the job of becoming the president of Nigeria is about ideas which he possess.
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”.
“Since the campaign started I have marshalled more original ideas than anyone else. I have 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”.
