Ayo Oyalowo, a prominent APC member, rebuked those who claimed that Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, was unwell, explaining that Tinubu still holds a significant influence over the upcoming presidential election.
Oyalowo revealed this while taking questions on Politics Today on Channels TV.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Tinubu posted a short video of himself on an exercise bike on Sunday evening to debunk rumours making the rounds that he is very sick.
He explained that Tinubu was constantly in the news because anything he did would be newsworthy because he was the main player in the upcoming election.
“I said somewhere a few days ago that the issue of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is the main issue in this election. So anything he does is news. Some people even went as far as photoshopping his bicycle riding.
“Asiwaju is the factor; he is the main factor in this election.
Apparently, people will say whatever they want to say, but we are aware the man needed a few days off because the pressure on him was a bit too much.
“He needed to rest because the campaign would be long; we have about four to five months of campaigning before the general election. So he needed to ensure that he was not worn out. He needed to take that breather.
“However, the Tweet proved that the man is healthy. They said he was in the hospital; some even said he had died. All manner of nonsense has been said about him”, he said.
