The spokesperson for the presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress standard bearer, Festus Keyamo says it is baseless for anyone to demand the medical report of Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu’s heaith status has sparked controversies with many speculating that that he is not physically fit to rule the country but speaking on Arise TV morning show on Monday, Keyamo said that no matter the controversy surrounding the APC presidential candidate health as being “paroted”, Tinubu is fit for the presidency.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said Tinubu had never collapsed or fallen anywhere before, therefore, asking for his health status was baseless.
keyamo was addressing questions concerning the campaign activities of the APC as the presidential election draws closer.
Addressing questions about the legacies of president Buhari Muhammadu that Tunubu will carry on if he wins the presidential election, Keyamo on economy said that the inflation rate as witnessed in this administration is not the highest the country has witnessed.
Keyamo claimed that inflation rate was highest under the administration of former president Olusegun Obasanjo, with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, as his the Vice President.
“This is not the highest inflation rate. In 2005, under Obasanjo and Atiku, we had a 28 per cent inflation rate. Under Obasanjo and Atiku, we had the highest,” Keyamo said.
According to Tradingeconomics.com, and also a chart on the Central Bank of Nigeria’s website, the annual inflation rate in Nigeria accelerated for the 10th straight month to 21.47% in November of 2022.
