By our reporter| The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso on Sunday urged the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to first go take care of himself ahead the ‘very rigorous’ 2023 presidential campaign.
Tinubu’s health has become an issue since he declared his intention to contest the county’s top earlier this year.
Kwankwaso, who gave advise during an interview on Arise Television on Sunday, shortly after Tinubu unveiled former Bornu state governor, Kashim Shetima as his running mate, said the APC presidential candidate should pay close attention to his health.
“If you see my friend, Bola, tell him to take it easy, take good care of his health and make sure that… because I love him so much, he is my friend,” Kwankwaso said.
“This campaign is very rigorous, it requires a lot of effort and so on and so forth. I hope he will take it easy so that we can continue the struggle to ensure one solid and prosperous Nigeria.”
On whether he is threatened by Tinubu’s choice, Kwankwaso said he likes the combination, but does not know what they would do differently from the current administration.
“My only worry is the platform. This platform I don’t know. I know he is a strategist, Bola Tinubu, he is a good man. I had reasons to sit with him uncountable number of times from 1992 to date,” he said.
“I wish I will see him to ask him what he will tell Nigerians what he will do differently from what Muhammadu Buhari is doing today.
“That is my serious concern for him. Ordinarily, if I cannot get it, I can recommend him but it’s going to be like building something on zero.
“When I see him, I wish him well or when you see him before me, tell him I wish him well… but let’s take it easy.”
