Stop hoopla over Buhari’s health, focus on his honest leadership - Tinubu

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, has advised Nigerians to focus on the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari and his sincere desire to make Nigeria great once again rather than listen to what he called unfounded speculations about the president's health.

In a statement released in Lagos on Sunday by his media office, Tinubu noted that many of the speculations on the President's health were done for selfish reasons.

"Such chatter may foment division where there was none and this might impair the management of the affairs of this country," he said.

 Tinubu added that by fomenting animosity among groups that had hitherto been united, those he described as holding on to what he called the bankrupt politics of the past were only seeking to thwart President Buhari's mission.

Calling on those sincerely concerned about the President's health not to allow fear to ambush their better judgment and courage, the APC leader said, "They should not give themselves to idle speculation. We should not buy into the myth of some cabal at work. Dwelling in empty speculation on the existence of some mythical cabal is not what the country needs at present. From what I can see, the President remains at the helm and his policies are being implemented.

 "Those who truly care about the President and the important work he still must do should not allow themselves to become the unwilling tools of these retrogressive forces."
