THE Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has posted a 7 seconds video on his official Twitter page following speculation about his health status.
Speculations became rife about the health status of the former governor of Lagos State when the party suddenly postponed the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) earlier scheduled for Monday, September 26, to Wednesday, September 28.
He was also conspicuously absent when eighteen political parties vying for elective positions in next year’s general election signed an agreement for peaceful conduct before, during, and after the polls on Thursday in Abuja.
