Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala said President Bola Tinubu is “physically fitter than most leaders in advanced countries”.
Bwala said this in an interview with DW Africa in reaction to questions about the president’s frequent foreign medical trips.
He said, “In fact, the president of Nigeria physically is fitter than most presidents in the advanced countries.”
Bwala noted that recent endorsements of Tinubu for reelection in 2027 were not aimed at consolidating power but in line with the internal tradition of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The presidential aide said, “It’s a procedure or a process with our party that there will be mid-term assessment.
“So. it’s not President Bola. Whoever is the president at the time, after every mid-term, we will assess and see whether the president has performed to a point where we would entrust the person to continue.”
