Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, has once more defended his health, claiming that no sick person can make seven trips like he did at Umrah.
In an interview with Freedom Radio, Tinubu made the claim just before arriving in Nigeria from Saudi Arabia.
He said: “I just finished performing the Umrah. I did the seven rounds of tawaf and 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 around, spoken on different platforms, and stood for hours to address different audiences. Before they said I could not walk. They said I could not stand but they are shamed.”
Tinubu added: “Since the campaign started I have marshaled more original ideas than anyone else. I have demonstrated knowledge, experience, and a great capacity to be on top of issues in the country. And this job is about ideas and issues regarding the leadership of our country.
“I have all it takes to be the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I am asking the 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 concluded.
