Tinubu Replies Critics Says, “I’m Very Strong”

The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, who arrived in the country on Monday, expressed readiness to hit the ground running, declaring himself “very strong” for the task ahead.

This is as he asked Nigerians and his supporters to ignore rumormongers that he was flown out of the country for medical attention.

This online newspaper recalls that the health condition of the President-elect, who is a former Lagos State governor, has consistently come under scrutiny in recent times, which critics claimed, could pose a challenge to the incoming administration.

Tinubu was received by a mammoth crowd of enthusiastic associates and supporters who thronged the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja where his private jet touched down.

Dressed in a flowing blue agbada, he was accompanied by his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and son, Seyi.

Among those at the airport to receive were Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima; House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila; Governors Simon Lalong (Plateau); Abubakar Sani-Bello (Niger) and former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff.

Others were former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole; ex-Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; APC Deputy National Chairman for North, Senator Abubakar Kyari; Deputy National Chairman for South, Emma Enekwu, and National Woman Leader, Dr. Betta Edu.
