Ahead of the 2023 general elections, one of the chieftain of the Labour Party and political economist, Pat Utomi, has challenged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, to go for a medical checkup and make the result public.
He claimed that Tinubu is unfit.
Prof Utomi threw the challenge on Monday while answering questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today, arguing that next year’s election is about the lives of Nigerians.
He maintained that there were obvious signs to show that Tinubu is unfit for the post of a president.
“Our country has suffered so much from having ailing leaders. That was why the Vice President stepped up.
“American Presidents go through medicals that are made public. Let him (Tinubu) go for medicals with Nigerian doctors up in the hospital and make it public.
“It is the life of millions of people that we are dealing with”, Utomi added.
The renowned economist also noted that the ruling party, the APC, made a mistake by not fielding another candidate in the person of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, adding that he would have been a better candidate.
“The Vice President (Yemi) would have been a fit person. You can see he (Tinubu) is ailing. Common, let’s not kill ourselves, let’s be honest”, he said.
