Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Dumebi Kachikwu, has accused the ruling APC of presenting another sick candidate to Nigerians.
Speaking on Wednesday, Kachikwu also called for the withdrawal of Bola Tinubu from the presidential race on grounds of ill-health.
“Buhari had good intentions in mind when he ran for office but when his health failed his government also failed. Today, the same APC that failed the Nigerian people with a sick president has presented another sick candidate.
“There is nothing wrong with being old or sick as we will all get old someday. We will also all get sick at some point or the other. What I do have a problem with, is a candidate with significant cognitive disabilities.

“Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu has no business being in this race or continuing this race. He has said it is his turn and I agree. It is his turn to do the honourable thing and withdraw from this race. I call on his family, his party, President Buhari to prevail on him to do the right thing.”
Since the former governor of Lagos state declared his intention to run for president in 2023, a lot of concerns have been raised about his health.
But that has not prevented him from going round the country to consult with leaders at different levels about his presidential ambition.
During a visit to the palace of Jimoh Olanipekun, Ataoja of Osogbo, in February 2022, Tinubu revealed his readiness to serve as the President while doing nothing to dispel reports about his health.
