The All Progressives Congress (APC) said its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has disappointed those expecting “glitches” in his recent appearance at Chatham House.
The Deputy Director, Media and Publicity of the party, Ali Ali said this on Channels Television Program, Sunrise Daily on Tuesday.
Ali said that the presidential candidate of the party did very well as expected but some people would naturally condemn him.
“I would say he did very well as expected, maybe to the surprise of his traducers who thought as usual, there would be one or two glitches and they would latch unto that and make a feast out of it,” he said.
“But you can see that he spoke well and, of course, naturally, people react differently. Some would applaud and some would naturally condemn. Such is the enigma called Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He added that alot of people will make a feast out of it but the constitution is clear about who wants to be the president.

“A lot of people say his cognitive abilities are on the decline and they make a feast out of it. You see all kinds of memes on social media. But occasionally, it happens to people – senior moments, they call it, I think, in medical terms. It happens to the best of people.”
“These gaffes are not just misspellings or mispronunciations, they are gaffes of fundamental issues which reflect, for example, the cognitive ability of that person. The constitution is clear about who wants to be the president.
“Now, you are talking about somebody who was asked personalised questions regarding his age. Do you need somebody to speak to someone about your age? Where they there when you were born?
“You have, for now, in the media space, about three different dates of birth. There is 1952, 1954, and I think 1953 or thereabout. And you have not cleared that, ” Ali said.
