Lagos, Dec. 14, 2022 – Mr Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Media and Publicity of APC Presidential Campaign Council, has denied that his principal, Bola Tinubu, was rushed off-stage at his rally in Minna on Wednesday due to health reasons.
Onanuga said the crowd that turned out to welcome Tinubu at the rally was so massive that the former governor of Lagos State had to address them briefly.
He said this in a statement shared on the official website of the APC presidential candidate and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
“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,” Onanuga said, (GBN)
