But Mr Shettima said Mr Tinubu was healthier than him as he neither had diabetes nor hypertension, as reported by Daily Nigerian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me tell you clearly that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is hale and hearty. Politics aside, he is physically and mentally fit to be Nigerian president.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAsiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is even healthier than me, as I have diabetes and hypertension, which he has none.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Even the early Parkinson\u2019s disease people talked about is just lack of sleep. Once he gets enough sleep, he will be asymptomatic.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLeadership is not like an unskilled labour of carrying bags of cement. It\u2019s more of a mental work than physical.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Abdelaziz Bouteflika and Daniel arap Moi of America, Algeria, and Kenya respectively led their countries through economic prosperity while on wheelchairs,\u201d<\/em> Mr Shettima explained.<\/p>\n

He also said the northern region will not be sidelined from developmental projects of the administration, arguing that the presidential candidate of the party had always been a friend of the region.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see any reason why the northern region would be sidelined, especially when you look at the antecedents of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/em><\/p>\n

“He has been a friend of the north since the time of Shehu Musa Yar\u2019Adua.<\/em>
\n\u201cIn 2007, when Atiku was humiliated and chased out of the PDP, Tinubu accommodated him and gave him the presidential ticket of the ACN.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFour years later, he gave Malam Nuhu Ribadu, a northern Muslim and our brother, the presidential ticket to contest.”<\/em><\/p>\n
