Tinubu Not Sick, Campaign Explains Brief Appearance At Minna Rally

APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was not rushed out of the Minna rally ground on account of being sick, the Director, Media and Publicity, All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, has said.

Reacting to rumours that Tinubu was rushed off the stage due to health concerns at the Minna rally, he said that on the contrary that the massive crowd that turned out to welcome him was so massive that the candidate had to address them briefly and proceed to attend to other matters the same day.

GWG.ng reports that the brief appearance of the APC presidential candidate at the Minna rally has fuelled rumours around the country that Tinubu who attended another massive rally the day before in Kaduna was exhausted and had to be rushed off the stage without making as expected a formal campaign pitch.

Onanuga noting that Tinubu was not rushed off the Minna rally on account of being sick, said:

“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,” the statement said in debunking claims that Tinubu was rushed off the stage at the Minna rally because he was sick.
