Kashim Shettima, the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice presidential candidate, has revealed that his principal, Bola Tinubu, is healthier than him.
Mr Shettima stated this during Fashin Baki, a live Facebook discussion program hosted by Bulama Bukarti, Nasir Zango, Abba Hikima, and Jaafar Jaafar.
Concerns have been raised about the health of the APC presidential candidate, with some claiming he is unfit to serve as president.
Mr Shettima, on the other hand, stated that Mr Tinubu was healthier than him because he did not have diabetes or hypertension.
“Let me tell you clearly that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is hale and hearty. Politics aside, he is physically and mentally fit to be Nigerian president.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is even healthier than me as I have diabetes and hypertension, which he has none. Even the early Parkinson’s disease people talked about is just lack of sleep. Once he gets enough sleep, he will be asymptomatic.
“Leadership is not like an unskilled labour of carrying bags of cement. It’s more of a mental work than physical. Former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Abdelaziz Bouteflika and Daniel arap Moi of America, Algeria and Kenya respectively led their countries through economic prosperity while on wheelchairs,” Mr Shettima explained.
