Bola Tinubu, the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), slipped on Saturday in Kaduna State.
The former Lagos Governor was in the state for the 2021 Annual Arewa House Lecture.
Tinubu was walking by the high table, exchanging pleasantries with dignitaries, when he staggered.
Some Nigerians have raised concern about the health of the
one-time lawmaker believed to be interested in succeeding President Muhammadu
Buhari in 2023.
There are speculations that he and the country’s leader are
not in good terms. But the presidency has downed the speculations.
Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a statement accused the
media of creating controversies and providing a nexus for naysayers.
Shehu said the administration is aware of pessimists and
cynics who willfully spread misinformation to create doubts in the minds of the
people.
He noted that Tinubu remained one of the most respected
political leaders in Nigeria who has stuck to his principles in the face of all
adversities.
“If Asiwaju is not a frequent face in the Aso Rock Villa, it
is on account of the fact that he is not a cabinet member of this government.
“The fact that he is not every day around the Villa does not
make him less of a friend to the President and this administration”, the
statement read.
