Spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, has said he does not see the need for his party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, to disclose his health status.
The senior lawyer stated this on Monday during an interview on Arise TV.
Keyamo, who is also the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, said it was baseless for anyone to ask for the medical report of Tinubu, noting that the candidate has never collapsed.
“No matter how much they repeat it, no matter how much you parrot it, the fact remains that there is no evidence to the culturing that my candidate has some health issues.
“I have not seen anything happen to my candidate that has not happened to any other candidate. What has happened to my candidate? Has he fainted? Has he collapsed? Nothing has happened.

“There must be a basis by which somebody will say I need to disclose my health status,” Keyamo said, adding “there is absolutely no basis.”
The minister also said the inflation rate under President Muhammadu Buhari was not the highest in the history of the country.
Keyamo said this while responding to questions about Buhari’s legacy which Tinubu said he would build on if elected president.
Keyamo claimed that inflation rate was rather highest under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, as Vice President.
“This is not the highest inflation rate. In 2005, under Obasanjo and Atiku, we had a 28 per cent inflation rate. Under Obasanjo and Atiku, we had the highest,” Keyamo said.
