…Says former Governor’s healthy, physically fit to be president
By Uthman Salami
A Tinubu’s coalition, the Support Groups Management Council, has said the viral photo of the leading Presidential Candidate contender of the All Progressives Congress leader (APC) pictured in a wet dress is the work of mischievous and disgruntled elements.
The coalition also affirmed that the viral photo was manipulated, noting that Tinubu is healthy and physically fit to be Nigeria’s President in 2023, contrary to claims by propagandists.
After visiting leading traditional rulers in Ogun State which include; Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, to seek royal blessing on his presidential ambition.
The photo depicted wet around Tinubu’s lower region while many online users especially Twitter insinuating that the APC leader was suffering from a urinary condition.
Director of Media and Publicity, Biodun Ajiboye, of the group, however, described the claim as false in a statement titled ‘Evildoers, destroyers of destiny are at it again’.
“The success Asiwaju Tinubu recorded at these high-level visitations to top traditional rulers had again led enemies of progress, the brewers of hate, discord and disharmony to script a dirty tale to discredit this awesome outing. This time it is that he wetted his dress!
“Assuming without conceding that is the case, so is it the back of his knees that would be wet and not the bum area? So if he wetted his babariga, he would not cover it and would still move to be flat to greet the Awujale of Ijebuland in the full glare of everyone present?
“It was the usual photoshop manipulations and shallow mental agility that pushed them to dispense a feeble narrative that made no iota of sense.
“Yet as their video showed, it was after their wetting incident that he went ahead and prostrated to Kabiyesi.
“This is another distraction, no amount of distractions or attempts to discredit Asiwaju will work to remove the wall from his political wind.
“Asiwaju Tinubu has declared his interest in the presidential race. He has his legs on the throttle. There is no going back.
“We appeal to Nigerian to ignore the evil-minded machinations and assure Nigerians that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is healthy and strong enough to undertake the responsibilities involved in the expected rigours of campaigns and politicking when the time comes.”
