Henry Ajomale, former Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has finally dispelled the rumours going round about the incapability of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to run for the office of president in the forthcoming 2023 General Elections due to ill-health.
Ajomale said he was bombarded with calls from loved ones and concerned Nigerians over the health status of the APC presidential flag bearer.
Ajomale, who made the revelation in an interview disclosed that the incident was spurred by rumours that made the rounds on social media that the presidential candidate was rushed abroad where he was battling for his life.
He returned to the country last Thursday to the excitement of his supporters.
Ajomale said, “I was also in London but read everything some mischievous people and the opposition parties were saying. Rather than get angry, I found them amusing here in London.
“I have been bombarded with numerous calls from close friends, anxious supporters of the party and those who know I am in London, wanting to know whether he (Tinubu) was alive or critically ill and all those silly comments about his state of health.
“I told them that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. The man is resting and holding meetings. I don’t understand how critics spend time wandering around looking for what is not lost.”
While reiterating that Tinubu is strong, he said the only health challenge he once had that warranted him to travel abroad was knee surgery.
