Sowore Demands Transparency on Tinubu's Health Issues

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu regarding concerns over his health. Sowore urged the Federal Government to disclose Tinubu's medical condition to the public, alleging that the administration is hiding the seriousness of his illness.

He claimed that Tinubu appeared to be in poor health upon his return from Lagos and suggested that the President should seek proper medical attention. Sowore drew parallels to past governments, stating that there have been previous attempts to conceal the health conditions of national leaders, referencing former Presidents Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and Muhammadu Buhari.

He expressed concern over the government's presentation of Tinubu at public events despite his alleged health issues, stating, “A sick person should not be leading a sick country.” Sowore also mentioned that he had previously questioned the urgency of Tinubu's medical care, implying that the government is downplaying the situation.
