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

A former governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, on Monday dismissed insinuations on the health status of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Nnamani, who is representing Enugu East in the Senate, said in a statement that the APC candidate was medically fit to rule Nigeria.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said he has engaged the former Lagos State governor and discovered that he has no health challenge contrary to insinuations in the country.

Tinubu returned from the United Kingdom last week.

Many Nigerians have expressed concern over the APC candidate’s health since he secured the party’s presidential ticket in June.

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.”
