The Director, Media and Publicity, All Progressives Congress
Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, has said presidential candidate,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was not rushed off the stage due to health concerns at his
rally in Minna, the Niger State capital.
According to Onanuga, the crowd that turned up to welcome
Tinubu at the rally was so massive that the former governor of Lagos State had
to address them briefly.
He disclosed this in a statement shared on the official
website of the APC presidential candidate and his running mate, Senator Kashim
Shettima.
The statement read, “A massive crowd of APC supporters welcomed the presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to Minna on Wednesday, as he arrived for the mega rally.
“The cheering crowd was unprecedented, according to
journalists at the Trade Fair Complex, venue of the rally.
“Tinubu, who held another successful rally in Kaduna on
Tuesday, arrived in Minna in the evening of the same day for a series of
meetings with APC leaders.
“The crowd was so
huge that Tinubu spoke briefly to appreciate the supporters and identified the
party candidates seeking elective positions.
“Contrary to the rumours that he was rushed off stage
because of health concerns, Tinubu cut it short to attend to other programmes
of the day.
“He commended the party supporters for coming out en masse
to witness the flag off of the presidential campaign.”
After the rally, Tinubu inaugurated his campaign office in
the city, donated by Blueprint Newspaper Publisher and Chairman, Strategic
Communications of the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council,
Mohammed Malagi.
He also paid a visit to the Emir of Minna and was later
hosted in a luncheon organised by the Governor of Niger, Abubakar Bello.
