Questions have emerged following a video circulating on social media that appears to show the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, handing President Bola Tinubu an unidentified substance during the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign flag-off rally in Kaduna State on Saturday.
The video has sparked reactions among Nigerians, with some social media users speculating about the substance and raising concerns about the President’s health.
President Tinubu arrived in Kaduna State on Saturday for the flag-off of the APC 2027 presidential campaign. Vice President Kashim Shettima and his wife, Nana Shettima, also arrived in the state for the event.
Reacting to the footage, several social media users shared their opinions, with some making claims about the President’s health and questioning his ability to continue in office.
Here are some reactions gathered by DAILY POST:
@dee_9989: “Tinubu was caught on camera been given some sort of drug (booster) by his wife Remi Tinubu, at the Kaduna campaign ground. Tinubu is just a living dead...”
@BikeDWeb: “Look at the dude. Is there any surprise why Nigeria is where it is currently?
@SirOdigie: “The dude is gone but struggling to keep his people out of prison.”
@OKARIAUKE: “To keep him awake for the next few minutes.”
@udokwe8655: “Same thing that happened during his inauguration. She was right there injecting him. Quite a joke.”
@hamzee14: “From what I am seeing this man isn't feeling fine someone should advise him to go and rest.”
@Hhonor: “The man is slowly fading away.”
@MichaelOlaoye27: “He is sick to the extent that one right hand is not functioning orrectly.”
@onejob: The man is very old, just a placeholder and people around him just want to use him to cash out.”
@AgainstGala: “Nigerians if u allow them another 4 years there will be nothing left when they leave. The man is clearly out of it and doesn't know what's happening around him. His Wife whom no one voted for is running the government.”
@Jlemon: “Tinubu is gone…..We are ruled by Remi and seyi.
@JudeHea: “Watch as Tinubu was being given pills on the campaign ground by his wife, Remi, in Kaduna, as he was getting drowsy, losing consciousness and about to fall off the seat.
"No wonder he said he would only attend the presidential campaign in 12 states. With what we saw in Kaduna, he may not even be able to go around the 12 states.
“This is a great disservice to Nigerians. Why will Nigerians always have to contend with old men in every election cycle? From Buhari to Tinubu, and Atiku is by the corner, still agitating at his age to be president too.
"If you see anyone supporting these old men to hold on to power, run from them because they are so evil.”
