Opposition figure and African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has raised fresh concerns over President Bola Tinubu’s health after circulating a video from the president’s appearance at a Kaduna rally.

In a post on Sunday, Sowore wrote, “The Nigerian political class is of the worst variety when it comes to their ability to deceive themselves and Nigerians.

“Tinubu appears to be very sick, as I stated when he travelled to France and could not return on time.”

He went further, saying, “I suspect this man may have suffered a stroke and that they are covering it up, but his appearance in this video from Kaduna rally yesterday is troubling about his health. These politicians are sick! Sick people!”

The post, which carried the hashtag #TinubuMustGo, included a clip showing Tinubu in traditional APC attire at the outdoor event.

In the video, the president is seen moving slowly, frequently looking down, and walking carefully among aides and supporters.

Sowore linked the latest appearance to earlier questions he raised about Tinubu’s delayed return from a trip to France.

The claims have drawn mixed reactions online, with some users defending the president’s age-related frailty and others calling for him to rest.
