Those of us that are with Tinubu know that he is very healthy – Jigawa Governor Badaru

Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, the governor of Jigawa State, has reacted to claims that Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is not in good health. 

During Tinubu’s town hall meeting with Muslim leaders in Kano on Tuesday, Badaru stated that the former Lagos State governor is physically and mentally healthy, contrary to mischievous insinuations. 

Baduru said: “People spread fake news about his health status. We that are with him know that he is very healthy. Aside bodily health, he has very high mental alertness.” 

The Jigawa governor recounted how he joined Tinubu on a recent trip to the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia where they had the stressful lesser hajj ritual and came back to Nigeria without having any rest. 

Also asserting that Tinubu is dependable and has deep regard for Nigerians, Badaru added: “Tinubu has deep respect for our people and we have found in him a dependable friend who will not shame us, by the grace of God.”
