2023: Lie of devil, I’m very much in presidential race- Tinubu, as he shares workout video
Following the questions about his health status, the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC),Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has broken his silence saying he is fit to run for the office.
The ex-Lagos governor who shared a workout video on his Twitter handle Sunday denied reports that he has withdrawn from the race.
“Many have said I have died; others claim I have withdrawn from the presidential campaign,” the APC candidate tweeted on his verified handle.
“Well… Nope. This is the reality: I am strong, I am healthy and I am READY to serve Nigerians from Day One,” he added.
There have been concerns about the health status of Tinubu, with many Nigerians questioning his state of mind for the nation’s top job.
In recent times, the former governor of Lagos State has not been seen in political gatherings, particularly at the signing of a peace accord by presidential candidates ahead of next year’s exercise.
While other candidates gathered at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, Tinubu sent his running mate, Kashim Shettima, to represent him. The development triggered reactions and pushed #WhereIsTinubu to the top trends on social media last Wednesday.
In August, the former Borno State governor also represented him at the NBA conference in August.
While reacting to comments about Tinubu’s whereabouts, a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Ayo Oyalowo, said the party’s flagbearer is resting in London, UK.
