Bola Tinubu has come under fire from Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) for 2023, who claims that Tinubu is a sick man who is using Nigeria as his health insurance.
In response to Tinubu’s downfall at the 25th Democracy Day ceremony in Eagle Square, Abuja, on Wednesday, Sowore made this statement.
Sowore denounced the President and Tinubu’s backers for equating this occurrence with US President Joe Biden’s comparable mishap.

After the incident, Sowore said in an interview with VOP FM that the fall was not an accident and that “this is what we were saying when I was running for office in 2019 and 2023.”
He said, “Tinubu is sick and there is no country in the world that should allow a sick person to lead them.
“I have said it and I will repeat it here, I have no problem with old people, aging people or sick people because these are natural occurrences but the moment it is established that they are incapable of running a country like Buhari did and held Nigeria for ransom for eight years, step out of the way and let people who are fit, have the capacity and of great good health, to run the country.
“There is no need to sugarcoat it. There is no need to compare Biden with Tinubu. Difference being that we know Biden’s prognosis. We know that he is sick and we know the nature and character of his illness and his old age but nobody knows that of Tinubu.”

According to Sowore, “He (Tinubu) is just using Nigeria as health insurance”.
The former African Action Congress presidential candidate stated, “America has a robust institution that can function effectively even without a President, but Nigeria does not. In Nigeria, the country’s fate is closely tied to the President’s office. It is a hopelessly centralized system of government. We cannot make such comparisons.”
“By the way, if America is doing something wrong, must Nigeria do the same way? It is not as if we are doing what America is doing right. We are only interested in using America’s wrong to compare our own or to elevate our own wrongs. How long are we going to do that for?”
