Adebayo Shittu, former minister of communication, says Bola
Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is
healthy and strong as “any person around”.
While speaking on Daily Politics, a Trust Television
programme, on Thursday, Shittu said being president does not require physical
labour.
There have been concerns about the health of the former
governor of Lagos state.
Some Nigerians believe he may not be able to handle the
rigours of office if elected president of Nigeria.
The former minister said apart from good health, Nigerians
need a candidate who is qualified and experienced – things he claims Tinubu
has.
“It is not about age, to be a president is not about
labour,” he said.
“It is not about physical labour. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is
healthy and strong as any person around. If a Mr Jack or you are whatever… I
mean, is that all the presidency requires by way of qualification?
“You need sound
education, you need experience, exposure and of course you also need good
health.”
Shittu said Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is no match for Tinubu in the north-east.
“The north-east where Atiku comes from, Atiku knows that he
is not a match [for Tinubu]. Has he ever headed any government? He does not
have any achievements to be credited to him,” the former minister said.
