Ex-gov Nnamani rubbishes claims on Tinubu’s health, backs him for president

On Monday, Chimaroke Nnamani, a former governor of Enugu State, refuted suggestions that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, was in poor health.

The senator from Enugu East, Nnamani, claimed in a statement that the APC candidate was physically capable of leading Nigeria.
Contrary to rumours circulating throughout the nation, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain claimed to have spoken with the former governor of Lagos State and found that he is in good condition.

Last week, Tinubu travelled to the United Kingdom.

Since the APC candidate won the party’s nomination for president in June, many Nigerians have expressed worry about his health.

There were insinuations that Tinubu was completely incapacitated after he failed to show up in Abuja for the signing of the peace accord by the presidential candidates of all the political parties last week.

He said: “I join millions of our people in welcoming Tinubu home. It is to God’s Glory that he returned in superb health.

“I continue to strongly condemn those who wallow in ignorance in celebration of real and phantom infirmities. Rather I lend my voice in celebration of his giant strides in governance, reforms and locality administration in all its spheres. I salute his political deftness and sagacity.

“I attest to his good health and capacity. Tinubu has a robust general system, acute awareness of his holistic environment, political and in all ramifications.

“He has a bubbling and vivacious personality. His confidence is easily apparent, sharing and transferable. Engaging him clearly demonstrates good health, energy and readiness to rumble.”
