Anew photograph of Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has emerged, where he wore an inner device believed to be a ‘catheter bag’ to expel urine, further raising questions about his frail health status, ahead of the 2023 general election.

A catheter is a device that collects urine into a drainage bag through an attached tube. It is typically used by people who cannot naturally pass urine.

The photo was released on Thursday afternoon by Mr Tinubu’s media aide Joe Igbokwe in a desperate attempt to douse concerns over his recent trip to London, including his absence at today’s peace accord signing in Abuja.


Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) were present at the event, where Mr Tinubu was represented by his running-mate Kashim Shettima.

The picture circulated on social media as a ‘proof of life’ showed Mr Tinubu meeting with the former interim chairman of the APC, Bisi Akande, and Najatu Muhammadu, a female chieftain of the party.

The Gazette gathered that the APC candidate had traveled to the United Kingdom, last weekend, a few days before the APC released the 422- member presidential campaign council (PCC) of the party.

His sudden trip has also fuelled speculations of another medical trip even as he claimed ‘fitted’ for marathon campaigns for the next year’s election.

Four medical doctors, including two surgeons, informed The Gazette that the outline of the “urinary bag” was apparent in Mr Tinubu’s photo.

Since he joined the 2023 presidential race, Mr Tinubu’s ailment has been generating concerns among Nigerians, especially critics of his personality, who have queried his suitability to succeed incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari next year.

In February, The Gazette published a video of Mr Tinubu’s visit to the palace of Awujale of Ijebuland in Ijebu Ode that revealed how his flowing garment was soaked from behind when he stood up to address visitors at the palace. One of his security aides could be seen frantically covering his nose in the video.

The footage elicited criticism from Nigerians, with many saying it suggested that the APC presidential candidate was suffering from urinary incontinence.

Aside from his health status, Mr Tinubu had consistently made slurred and incoherent comments at public functions.

The former Lagos governor has, however, emphasised that it is “unnecessary” for him to be physically fit to rule Nigeria, stressing that he was seeking to be president becausee he has the necessary mental alertness to govern a diverse and developing nation like Nigeria.

“If you hear them saying, can I do it? I am not applying for the job of a grave digger; not race running, I am not a horse. I am not applying for bricklaying. I went to school to study accountancy and management. I am applying for a job of the brain; intelligent thinking; it is a job for someone who is ready to do things right,” Mr Tinubu had said when he visited the palace of the Ooni of Ife and Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, in Osun.

Spokespeople for Mr Tinubu’s campaign did not return requests seeking comments about the protruding object under their principal’s clothes in London.

Generational urchins will avoid this thread.

They hid Yar Aduas health and death, they are hiding Buhari's with look a likes, they are hiding the Clinton Foundation boy boy Tinubu's health, they are hiding that Atiku is not even a Nigerian..... and on and on...

There is one thing money can not buy.

For how long will they continue to hide the fact that BAT is critically Ill. At this point, (though I'm not his fan) I've come to agree with what dino melaye said."you cannot support tinubu and not look stupid". Like why this desperation?

This one na see finish!

The agbado break and quench landlord has gone for repairs and agbadorians forgot that their push and start has not been repaired

This man will cause more blunders in Nigeria than Maguire has done in Man Utd

Nawa!
The man need to go and rest. Just enjoy his wealth

Festus Keyamo won't respond you should have asked Omenka and PandoraObi

May BAT thing never happen to Nigeria...

Those people supporting tinubu now will be in charge of his government looting while tinubu is in his medical bed in France.It is the same way they are doing to Buhari presently.

God help us in this country

Tinubu should give it up already and step down. Let him support peter Obi immediately. The drug lord isn't fit at all. He is sick old and highly unfit.. old age has affected this man already.

Peter Obi for president

It is clear he needs to go rest. Unfortunately some evil persons and urchins want to push him to ridicule and shame.
What is more painful is that his wife and children do not seem to like their father, because if they do, they will pull him out of all these by force and ensure he rest .

It is an act of wickedness to want tinubu to be president of Nigeria today. We have been through almost 8yrs of failure as a result of an inactive head, yet you are pushing for another inactive head.
Nigeria ronu.

So us billions can't buy good health no wonder they said earth is wealth o. Baba rest allow Ameachi to carry d flag u say no OK still allow osinbanjo to carry the flag u say no.APC as a party are not happy with their flag barer but the north have an agenda with shettima

Absolutely wickedness for anybody vote him

Surely Africa is cursed, we never learnt from the past and past..

Please for God's sake, is this suffering not too much for us in this country? Yoruba people who claim to love Tinubu, can't you people advise this man to go and rest so as to gain additional years on eart? Yes it has been his life long ambition to be president of Nigeria and I believe he has a right to contest but due to his frailing health he can not. Let him just accept it as the will of God for him and humbly take a bow. Please for the sake of this country, our children and our unborn children let this man rest. Sometimes we can beg even a witch to stop eating people of his community. Please APC, the number of people you have eaten in this country is just too much. Abeg leave us alone.

Tinubu the clueless drug baron tun ma lule piii Lekan siii. That’s why he can’t attend any interview. Ato le gbogbo. APC Ati Tinubu ma lule piii Lekan siii niiii.

This is serious.

In his place let another take

Oh! The drug lord should support obi?? Just listen to yourself! If tinubu is visionless I feel you should be called worse.

The photographer will be answering questions right now...... don't you see the wetness in that lower part of the polo before you snap?

Everybody is blaming everybody in this scenario

Ok

Fake as usual. If he wears catheter he won’t be daft to wear that skimpy shirt to cover it. He would wear a bigger dress.

The stench when he passes is better imagined than experienced. Even his orderly had to cover his nose due to the stench.
To yoruba Muslims, the stench is perfume.

GrandPa wey dey we we on himself

GrandPa Tinubu zukwanuike!

Which kind journalism do we have in this country?
