President-elect Bola Tinubu says speculation about his alleged ill-health has perished and their purveyors brought to shame.
Tinubu said this when he received the APC governors who paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja on Thursday, according to a statement by his media office signed by Tunde Rahman.
Dismissing speculations about his health, the President-elect said, “all speculation has been perished and their purveyors brought to shame.”
According to the statement, an “emotional” Tinubu expressed gratitude to God that he, “the first Muslim minority from the South-West got the blessing of Allah to be elected president.”
“We thank God Almighty for our electoral victory. It was tough and turbulent.
“The challenge before us is working in unison with the party leadership and the National Assembly over the election of their principal officers. And I charge you to unite in spirit and faith and work in line with the party,” Tinubu said.
The president-elect told the governors and former governorship candidates of the party that “whether you return or not, this is our government.
“Once we know what we are doing and communicating as elected leaders and loyal party men, we will conquer the challenge.”
He reiterated his earlier admonitions that, as leaders, they were elected to serve the people and humanity with fairness and justice.
