The National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dayo Israel has said that the Presidential candidate of the APC is fit and strong to pilot the political affairs of Nigeria. According to him, Tinubu does not sleep until around 4 in the morning. Israel shared a video of him with Tinubu during a visit to the APC leader’s house. Earlier, Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka had disowned some members of the National Association of Seadogs, popularly known as the Pyrates Confraternity, for mocking Tinubu. In the video, members of the Confraternity during a procession gyrated to an anti-Tinubu song mocked the former Lagos State governor for a speech he made in June in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where he asked that power should be handed over to him. The members of the Pyrates Confraternity sang, “Hand dey shake, leg dey shake, Baba wey no well, e de shout emi lo kan (Hands are shaking, legs are shaking. A sick old man is shouting ‘it’s my turn’). “Emi lo kan (2ce), Baba wey no well, him dey shout emi lokan (It’s my turn (2ce), a sick old man is shouting ‘it’s my turn’”. Former Kogi-West Senator, Dino Melaye, claimed that the APC presidential candidate, sees the presidency as his “entitlement and retirement benefits”. According to Melaye, Tinubu was contesting for the presidency not on basis of the greater good but to fulfill his “lifetime ambition”. In a video shared on his Facebook page, the former lawmaker who was responding to the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, over his comment on Atiku in a TV interview recently, said, unlike Tinubu, the PDP’s candidate is contesting with rich credentials.
