The Director of Media and Publicity for APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, has said Bola Ahmed Tinubu is hale and hearty and works 20 hours daily strategizing to save the country.
Newsonline reports that Onanuga said the rumour that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Tinubu, is ill, was false, emanating from an incurable liar, Peter Obi,, presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
Bayo who added that Tinubu has been working round the clock, at least 20 hours every day, and fit as a fiddle, questioned if Peter Obi was the former Lagos state governor doctor to declare him as sick.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, Bayo Onanuga described Obi as an ‘incurable liar, who elevates gossip on social media propagated by IPOB supporters.
The statement partly read, “We want to make it crystal clear to all the traducers of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate that Asiwaju Tinubu is not ill. He is hale and hearty. A man, who works for 20 hours a day, meeting people and strategizing about finding solutions to Nigeria’s problems, cannot be said to be ill. We make bold to say that our candidate is as fit as the fiddle.
“We find these statements unbecoming of a man who nurses the ambition to be Nigeria’s next President. Since he is not Asiwaju’s doctor and is not privy to his medical record, Obi has again disgracefully elevated what has for long been a beer parlour gossip and social media lie being propagated by his IPOB supporters. Obi in his characteristic manner is amplifying falsehood, which should not have a place in a decent political campaign.
“We believe that political leaders should be guided in their utterances and be sticklers for the truth, but Obi has thrown all caution to the wind, pronouncing on issues he has no moral and professional competence to make a judgment call on.”
