Segun Sowunmi Defends Tinubu's Health Amid Rumors

Segun Sowunmi, the Convener of The Alternative, addressed concerns regarding President Bola Tinubu's health during a town hall meeting in Ijebu North East Local Government Area of Ogun State. He dismissed claims that Tinubu was unfit, stating, "The president is in good health.

The president is in sound mind." Sowunmi criticized Nigerians who celebrate negative news about the country, labeling it as self-hate. He responded to rumors about Tinubu's absence from the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for the third time, attributing it to a focus on significant investments, including a $700 billion gas investment and a $17 billion seaport investment in Ogun State.

Sowunmi argued that the Vice President's representation at the UNGA was equivalent to the President's presence. He urged Nigerians to ignore negativity and emphasized the need for unity and positive engagement to foster development.

Sowunmi also expressed support for Tinubu and Ogun East senatorial candidate Dapo Abiodun, stressing the importance of the upcoming senatorial election.
