Chief Adebayo Shittu, a chieftain of the Oyo All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Minister of Communications, has said that the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is very healthy just like President Buhari.
According to Shittu, while speaking on Trust TV on Thursday, the elderstatesman and APC presidential candidate does not have any health challenge.
The former communication minister said: “Let me tell you, when the current president was sick, a lot of people took him for the dead. Today I can assure you he is stronger than you and I. He doesn’t use walking stick, he is not aided, he is walking. So is Asiwaju Tinubu.
“So you can imagine the difference in age between Asiwaju and President Buhari”, he added.
Shittu further opined that aspiring to lead a nation is not about age, stressing that leadership is dynamism, exposure, among others.
“It’s not about age to be a president; it’s not about physical labour. There is nothing to detract from the fact that Asiwaju is as healthy and strong as any other person around.
“You need sound education, experience, exposure, dynamism but you also need good health and we are happy to say that there is no question about the health of Asiwaju, I can assure you”, he added.
