The National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has reacted to claims of his being sick.

Reacting to the speculation, he asked Nigerians to ignore the rumors.

The former Lagos State governor who is aspiring to become President in 2023, said this while speaking at the palace of Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji, on Friday, February 26.

Speaking on insinuations that he was unhealthy thus ineligible to contest for the post of president, Tinubu said the work of president he has applied for was not bricklaying, race running, or grave digging, but the one that requires the use of brain and intelligence.

“I have the brain and the capacity. If you hear them saying, he is sick, I didn’t apply for the job of race running. I didn’t apply for the job of bricklaying. I went to school to study Accountancy and Management.

I didn’t apply for a job of a gravedigger. I have applied for a job of brain and intelligence, focus thinking. The job I want to do for Nigeria is for Nigeria to be greater and be proud of itself, our children, and we leave a legacy of success, unlimited success for our great, great children.”he said
