African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has questioned President Bola Tinubu’s suitability to seek re-election in 2027, alleging that the President is battling health challenges.
Titiansloaded reports that Sowore made the claim in a post on X, where he accused individuals close to Tinubu of concealing information about his alleged physical and cognitive condition from Nigerians.
He argued that those who benefit from the President’s continued stay in office were responsible for keeping his health status out of public discussion.
The activist also maintained that Tinubu was not fit to manage the responsibilities of the presidency, urging that he should not seek another term.
“I insist that this man is very, very sick and cannot even manage his personal affairs, let alone those of a country desperately in need of dynamic leadership.
Those benefiting from his cognitive and physical decline do not mean well for Nigeria, but they cannot hide the truth forever. Tinubu is sick!” Sowore wrote.
To support his argument, the AAC candidate shared a 17-second video showing Tinubu during an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign event in Rivers State.
Sowore’s remarks came amid renewed political debate over the President’s physical condition following another campaign appearance in Akwa Ibom State.
Atiku Abubakar’s media aide, Paul Ibe, had also called on Tinubu to reconsider his ambition to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Ibe made the appeal after a video showing the President appearing to stagger while walking towards his vehicle at an APC campaign rally circulated widely online. Tinubu was seen receiving assistance as he moved.
The media aide questioned whether the President could withstand the demands of another nationwide campaign while pursuing a second term.
He further urged the First Lady, Remi Tinubu, and the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, to advise him to withdraw from the race.
However, the health-related claims made by Sowore and the concerns raised by Ibe were political statements and do not, on their own, establish the President’s medical condition.
