Femi Pedro, former deputy governor of Lagos, says the
cognitive ability of Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), is perfect.
Tinubu has been under scrutiny over his health status since
he became the presidential candidate of the APC.
He has suffered a number of gaffes at campaign rallies and
the mistakes have raised concerns over his fitness for office.
Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Monday,
Pedro said the former governor of Lagos is “fitter than him” and though he
looks “frail, he is energetic”.
Pedro was the deputy to Tinubu when he was the governor of
Lagos between 2003 and 2007.
“Asiwaju is very fit. He is fitter than me. When you look at
him, he might look like somebody who is frail but he is energetic. He is well
and not sick, and you can see that he is being everywhere,” he said.
“Let me assure you, Asiwaju’s cognitive skill is perfect. He
has no problems at all. Most of what you heard or read is doctored. That is the
narrative being presented by the opposition to tell Nigerians that the man is
not fit.
“We that are close to
him, his supporters know that his cognitive ability is good. You have nothing
to worry about. He might have made slips here and there, everybody does that.
“When you are on a campaign trail, the noise, the gravitas,
and the general rally atmosphere can easily make you have a slip of tongue,
which is not unusual and unheard of.”
