Tinubu’s Unfortunate Slip: “It Is Normal to Fall”

During a recent campaign rally, presidential candidate Bola Tinubu made a startling comment that has raised concerns about his health and fitness for office. In a bid to reassure supporters, he stated, “It is normal to fall.” Tinubu’s remark has been widely interpreted as an admission of his own physical vulnerabilities. The 70-year-old candidate has faced repeated questions about his health, including reports of recent medical trips abroad. His statement has fueled speculation that he may not be up to the rigors of serving as President. The comment has also been met with criticism from opponents, who have accused Tinubu of trying to downplay his health issues. They argue that the presidency is a demanding job that requires a healthy and capable individual. The incident has raised questions about the transparency and accountability of Tinubu’s campaign. Critics have questioned whether he has been forthcoming about his medical history and whether he is fit to serve as the leader of the nation. Tinubu’s campaign has defended his statement, claiming that he was merely acknowledging the challenges of political life. They have emphasized that he is in good health and capable of performing the duties of the presidency. However, the incident has cast a shadow over Tinubu’s campaign and has raised doubts among voters about his suitability for office. It remains to be seen whether he can convince the public that he is healthy and capable of leading the country.Nigerians React to Tinubu’s Slip-Up at Democracy Day Parade
