BrandNewsDay reports that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 election, Bola Tinubu, has praised the governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai’s “creativity and resiliency in turning a rotten situation into a bad one,” a gaffe that has again raised questions about the mental capacity of the APC Candidate to hold the nation’s highest office.
This online news platform understands that Tinubu while appealing to Governor El-Rufai not to leave the country, said the nation was in dire need of creative thinkers like the Kaduna governor.
BrandNewsDay Nigeria reports that Tinubu made the mistake while addressing attendees of the Kaduna Investment Summit which was held at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua conference hall in Kaduna State, northern Nigeria on Saturday, October 15, 2022.
“Nigeria needs thinkers and doers. I’m openly begging Nasir El-Rufai not to run away for an additional degree. There are lots of educated relics. We are not going to let you run away,” Tinubu opined while mounting the podium on Saturday.
“Your vision, creativity, and resiliency in turning a rotten situation into a bad one are necessary at this critical time,” the APC presidential flag bearer for the 2023 general elections added.
Unaware of the gaffe, Tinubu did not make any effort to correct himself. The gaffe would be the latest addition to his slurred and incoherent comments at public functions.
Meanwhile, BrandNewsDay reports that the Kaduna incident has again renewed worries about both Tinubu’s mental and physical ability to handle the rigours of the presidency should he win the presidential elections in 2023 on the platform of the ruling party.
Last month, a photograph of Tinubu who was a two-term governor of Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial city, emerged, where he wore an inner device believed to be a ‘catheter bag’ to expel urine, further raising questions about his frail health status.
