I fly out when ill too - APC women leader defends Tinubu’s trip

Jumoke Okoya Jumoke Okoya

The Women Leader of the All Progressive Congress in Lagos State, Mrs Jumoke Okoya Thomas, has hinted that the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is ill.

Tinubu has been out of the country for some days now, and Nigerians are speculating that there is a problem somewhere.

In an interview with Arise TV on October 5, 2022, Jumoke was asked when she thinks Tinubu will come back to the country and she said: “I’m a woman leader. He will show up very soon and I tell you… I know the Asiwaju, he never spent two weeks outside.

“Go and check. Go and google. Even my little self here, when I’m not well I quickly run out to take a rest. I’m not saying he’s not well. I said my little self here, when I want to rest I quickly run out.”

Jumoke during the interview cautioned the supporters of Labour Party's Peter Obi, popularly known as 'Obidients' against embarking on a campaign of calumny against political opponents.

“One thing I like about Atiku is that he does not embark on this campaign of calumny like Obidients,” she said.
