REAL REASON WHY TINUBU WAS RUSHED OFF STAGE IN MINNA

The Director of Media and Publicity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Bayo Onanuga, has said Bola Tinubu, was not rushed off the stage due to health concerns at his rally in Minna, the Niger State capital on Wednesday.

According to Onanuga, Tinubu made his speech brief in order “to attend to other programmes of the day”.

The APC PCC’s statement reads: “A massive crowd of APC supporters welcomed the presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to Minna on Wednesday, as he arrived for the mega rally.

“The cheering crowd was unprecedented, according to journalists at the Trade Fair Complex, venue of the rally.

“Tinubu, who held another successful rally in Kaduna on Tuesday, arrived in Minna in the evening of the same day for a series of meetings with APC leaders.

“The crowd was so huge that Tinubu spoke briefly to appreciate the supporters and identified the party candidates seeking elective positions.

“Contrary to the rumours that he was rushed off stage because of health concerns, Tinubu cut it short to attend to other programmes of the day.

He commended the party supporters for coming out en masse to witness the flag off of the presidential campaign.”

This newspaper reports that after the rally, Tinubu inaugurated his campaign office in the city.
