Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, declared on Saturday that he is not sick but hale and hearty, saying it baffles him that the opposition continues to insist that he is sick.
Tinubu made the remarks at a dinner hosted by the Kano Business Community in his honor.
He said,
“I’m neither running for a 100-yard or 500-yard race nor am I competing in WWE wrestling.
I’m running for the presidency which is a knowledge-driven job
“I am very healthy.”
“Do I look sick?”
Tinubu enquired of the audience. The APC presidential candidate, who was in Kano to inaugurate the APC governorship and presidential campaign offices, announced a N500,000,000 donation to flood victims. The Kano business community took advantage of the opportunity to lay out their demands if he is elected president.
While assuring the business community that the document would not be tampered with, Tinubu stated that if he wins the presidential election in 2023, he will put the document into effect. Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, declared in his remark, shortly after outlining his achievements in the state over the last seven years, that the APC is the winning ticket all the way, based on the achievements of the President’s administration in the country at large and Kano in particular. “Is it the Inland Dry Port, which has been under construction for over 25 years and is nearly finished, or is it the modern railway from Lagos to Kano to Katsina and Maradi in Niger Republic?”
Ganduje jokingly told the audience that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is a Kano son of the soil whose name is Ashiru Bala Tanimu.
