Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is physically and intellectually prepared to hold Nigeria’s highest political position in May 2023, according to former Commissioner for Information in the state of Edo, Prince Kassim Afegbua.
While criticising people who claim Tinubu is ill and unwell for the difficult task ahead, Afegbua, who has been in contact with Tinubu for the past four months, claimed the former governor of Lagos state works 20 out of every 24 hours each day.
Speaking of Tinubu’s knee surgery from 2021, Afegbua claimed that his quick recovery from a knee cap replacement indicates that he does not have diabetes or high blood pressure.
He stated, “I often analyse candidates and consider their personalities while making selections. If Tinubu is currently capable of working 20 hours out of every 24 hours, even better than younger people like myself, then I should have no qualms about making sure he would live up to expectations when he is elected president.

“Recently, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and I have connected to the point where I approve of the statements, opinions, and ideas that he is making. Even at 12 in the morning when I’ve seen him, he’s still up and taking care of others. I was there; I’m not being told this.
“If a man of his age can undergo open knee cap replacement surgery and walk with that knee cap in three to four months, it suggests he does not have diabetes or high blood pressure. Everything else can be controlled after you are free of diabetes and high blood pressure.
And as he previously stated, he won’t be a grave digger or bricklayer in the White House. To examine leadership-related topics and adopt a well informed stance, everything must be done mentally.
