According to the northern group, it will be sad for Nigerians to elect another sick candidate as President of the country.
The 2023 general elections are approaching, and Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has expressed his intention to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC chieftain made his interest known to President Buhari last Monday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
While commenting on Tinubu’s ambition on Friday, ACF spokesman Emmanuel Yawe said the former governor of Lagos State should not be allowed to run for President without producing medical evidence.
Yawe urged Nigerians with convincing medical evidence of Bola Tinubu to without hesitation speak out and save the nation from having another sick leader.
ACF said Nigerians with Tinubu’s medical evidence should come out and show that he is not fit to contest the Presidency on health grounds.
“If people have issues or evidence about his (Tinubu) health, let them come out and speak. Let them provide evidence that he is not strong enough to contest for the Presidency or hold office.
“The people who have the evidence that Tinubu is not strong enough for the office presidency should save us the agony of having a sick President in office. They should speak out,” Yawe said.
The late former President Umaru Yar’Adua, who was sick and died in office, was mentioned by the ACF spokesman when recounting previous events.
According to Yawe, the event has resulted in a constitutional crisis.
He added: “So if we know that somebody is sick, we should not allow him to take over that office. It is a serious office that will determine the future of millions of citizens. In a complex country like Nigeria, we should not allow somebody that is not medically fit to occupy such an office and mess all of us up.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is always traveling abroad for medical attention, and Nigerians would be organizing demonstrations to force him back home. It was embarrassing. We should not allow such things to happen again,” Yawe said.
DNTWOK recalls that Tinubu had spent months abroad last year after he underwent knee surgery.
