Presidential hopeful under the banner of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reacted to criticism over his ability to effectively superintend the affairs of Nigeria noting that he doesn’t need physical strength to lead the country as he is neither a brick layer or grave digger.
Tinubu said he needs more strength psychologically than physically, to be president in 2023.
He stated this when he visited the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, Jimoh Olanipekun, to inform him of his political ambition on Friday.
There have been concerns from observers over Tinubu’s health status, following his recent medical trip to the United Kingdom.
However, Tinubu said: “I am not applying for the job of bricklaying or grave digging. I went to school to study accountancy and management.
“I am applying for a thinking job and I will do it right. The job I want to do is for Nigeria to be greater and to be proud of itself.”
In his remarks, the Ataoja of Osogbo said Tinubu has the capacity to be Nigeria’s president, and prayed that God would grant his heart’s desires.
