Atiku's media aide, Paul Ibe reacts to viral video of Tinubu stumbling after campaign in Akwa Ibom

Paul Ibe, the media aide to the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has responded to a viral video showing President Bola Tinubu seeming to lose his balance during a campaign rally in Akwa Ibom State. The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows the president appearing to stumble while walking towards his convoy.

This incident has ignited discussions on Nigerian social media about Tinubu's physical health and his capacity to continue serving as president for another term. In a post on his X account, Ibe questioned whether Tinubu would be able to endure the rigors of a presidential campaign and another four-year term. He advised First Lady Remi Tinubu and the president's son, Seyi Tinubu, to provide him with frank advice, urging him to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race with dignity.

Ibe wrote: "Tinubu’s latest campaign appearance raises a question the APC can no longer brush aside. Is he up to the demands of another presidential campaign and a second term? Aunty Remi and Seyi, you are among those closest to him. Give him the honest counsel his party seems unwilling to offer. Urge him to step out of the race with dignity."
