A Tinubu coalition group has insisted that the APC National Leader is health, describing the viral video and photographs of Tinubu in a wet dress as the handiwork of mischief-makers.

A statement signed by the group’s Director of Media and Publicity, Biodun Ajiboye, described the claim as false and a malicious move by haters of the Jagaban to discredit a successful meeting between Tinubu and the traditional rulers. 

“This time it is that he wetted his dress!”

“Assuming without conceding that is the case, so is it the back of his knees that would be wet and not the bum area? So if he wetted his babariga, he would not cover it and would still move to be flat to greet the Awujale of Ijebuland in the full glare of everyone present?” 

“It was the usual photoshop manipulations and shallow mental agility that pushed them to dispense a feeble narrative that made no iota of sense.”

“Yet as their video showed, it was after their wetting incident that he went ahead and prostrated to Kabiyesi.”

“We want to assure Nigerians that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is healthy and strong enough to undertake the responsibilities involved in the expected rigours of campaigns and politicking when the time comes.”

Tinubu, on Sunday, visited the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, and some other top traditional rulers in Ogun state in continuation of his consultations, and thereafter, the social media was awash with a video of a wet dress around his lower region.
