2023: Ex APC female presidential aspirant speaks on Tinubu’s alleged ill health

Uju Ken-Ohanenye, vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has urged Nigerians to disregard the claim that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party's nominee for president in 2023, is unwell.

On Saturday in Abuja, during the 30th anniversary of the National Centre for Women Development (NCWD) and Fund Raising, she delivered the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.

Before the APC's primaries, Ken-Ohanenye, the party's lone female presidential candidate, remarked that Tinubu was "as fit as a violin and as powerful as a horse."

She insisted that the claim that Tinubu was ill was untrue and should be ignored.

“As young as most of us may look, Tinubu is much stronger than we are; most young men don’t have the strength he has,” she said.

She wondered why some persons wished the APC presidential candidate and a former two-term Lagos State governor ill health, saying that even if he was sick as being speculated, sickness would not be hidden.

“A person that is really sick cannot be up and doing, he would probably be on admission in some hospital, but Tinubu is on the move every day.

“He doesn’t even sleep most days until the early hours of the day, having meetings, talking with people, and touching lives and people are sitting down somewhere saying he is sick.

“Most times when we go out to campaign, he is always there, sometimes he goes a day before to have town hall meetings before the main day,” she said.

Ken-Ohanenye explained that after rallies, Tinubu leaves for another state almost immediately for another rally, wondering how such a person could be said to be sick, adding that sickness could not be hidden.

“I am sorry to disappoint them; Tinubu is as fit as a fiddle and as strong as a horse,” she stressed.

She urged Nigerian women to give their votes to the Tinubu-Shettima ticket in the forthcoming 2023 presidential election, saying that a Tinubu presidency would guarantee their safety and deserved security and better life.

According to Ken-Ohanenye, Tinubu is the only presidential candidate that doesn’t care about gender so long as the person has competence.

“He doesn’t care about your gender, religion or tribe; if you have capacity and capability, Tinubu will give you a chance to excel and contribute to the country’s development,” she said.

She assured that within six months, a Tinubu presidency would turn the country’s fortune around for good for everyone and make her the envy of other nations.
