The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has hit back at those criticising him over his fragile physical status asserting that he needs more strength psychologically than physically, to be president in 2023.
The former Governor of Lagos State stated this when he visited the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, Jimoh Olanipekun on Friday.
Tinubu who has been going about on a tour of consultations was in Osun State to inform the monarch of his political ambition.
Africa Daily News, New York reports that there have been serious concerns from observers over Tinubu’s health status, following his recent medical trip to the United Kingdom.
Those concerns were further heightened when a video had leaked last week which showed Tinubu in a state that appeared to have wetted his clothes during a function.
The videos which were allegedly leaked by overzealous aides has since gone viral on social media.
Other videos were also leaked showing the fragility of the powerful politician.

However, Tinubu said: ‘I am not applying for the job of bricklaying or grave digging. I went to school to study accountancy and management.
‘I am applying for a thinking job and I will do it right. The job I want to do is for Nigeria to be greater and to be proud of itself.’
In his remarks, the Ataoja of Osogbo said Tinubu has the capacity to be Nigeria’s president, and prayed that God would grant his heart’s desires.
Africa Daily News, New York reports that Tinubu is one of the strongest contenders for the 2023 Presidential race, although it is widely speculated that he doesn’t have the blessings of the President. President Buhari has refused to make public his choice of successor.
