A member of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Adeboye Adebayo has declared that those attempting to use health-related issues against the party’s candidate, Bola Tinubu are backing up the wrong tree.

Speaking on Wednesday in Osogbo, Osun State, Adebayo declared that because Tinubu had a knee surgery abroad doesn’t make him unqualified to lead Nigeria.

He added that the APC presidential candidate is physically, mentally, and intellectually fit to lead Nigeria.

The presidential campaign council member while speaking against the background of Tinubu’s health status and perceived fears about his ability to withstand the rigours of the nation’s number one political office declared at an event held at Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Office in Osogbo that Nigerians have nothing to worry about.

He said those using health issues to campaign against Tinubu will fail totally as the APC candidate has been travelling to nooks and crannies of the country to solicit votes which is a demonstration of his physical fitness.

Speaking at the event tagged, ‘Tinubu Manifesto: Speaking Directly To The People’s Needs & National Challenges,’ Adebayo said: “We all recall that early this year in January when he declared to contest for that office, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was seen traveling to the nooks and corners of this country campaigning and soliciting for the support of traditional rulers and Nigerians even before the primaries.

“That a person travelled abroad to have a surgery on his knee does not make him unfit to lead Nigeria.

“He is here because he’s mentally alert and his intellect is sound. And don’t forget that up till today he has attended so many town hall meetings and rallies.

“We need to face issues. Is the man ready mentally? Does he have the intellectual capacity? Does he understand what we are talking about? Is his speech directed to issues that are happening around him? The answer is Yes.

“He is medically fit and intellectually capable to lead this country and no issue of health will stop him. Those planning to use health related issues to campaign against him will fail, they have failed already.”
