‘Even if he’s not in good health, he’ll get better’ – Orji Kalu on Tinubu trip

Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu has said
President Bola Tinubu is set to travel to Japan for an official state visit.

The former governor of Abia State made the disclosure in a
video clip he posted on his Facebook page, addressing the president’s rumoured
ill health.

The president’s conspicuous absence from key public events
have triggered speculation that he was sick and in a critical condition.

The presidency had, however, dismissed the claim, stating
that Tinubu is in good health and working from home.

In the video, Senator Kalu urged Nigerians, especially
politicians to focus on the achievements of the Tinubu-led administration and
stop spreading rumours on the president’s health.

He said, “Nigerian people and politicians should stop this
rumour and focus on what we are doing. We have done so many things and we will
continue to be on track”.

Asked if he is confirming that the president is currently in
good health, the lawmaker said, “even if he is not in good health, somebody can
be sick and he will get better to do his travels”.

“The president is going to Japan for a state visit and he
will stop over in Brazil and come back to Nigeria to go to the United Nations
in September so the president is in good shape, let’s stop all this nonsense”,
the lawmaker added.
