Seventy-two hours into the official campaign for the 2023 general elections, the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has been missing in action, generating concerns among his supporters.

Tinubu left the country unannounced on Sunday for the United Kingdom, fueling speculation that the candidate may be in the UK for medical attention, considering that he spent some months earlier in that country.

In the course of the week, #WhereIsTinubu trended for some time, as the opposition mocked the former Governor of Lagos State for leaving the country in the middle of campaign, making reference to suspicion on the health of Tinubu.

Among party supporters, specifically, online supporters, the absence of the candidate at the beginning of campaign has left many worried. His absence at the peace accord signing organised by the National Peace Committee further put his supporters in a tight spot.

Opponents have made reference to the NBA conference, where Tinubu missed the event because he was in the UK, leaving behind his running mate to attend.

The FCT coordinator for Grassroot for Asiwaju, Abiodun Ibrahim, stated that having a time to rest does not indicate anything.

“This election is not for a few weeks or days, it is for months. Asiwaju started campaigning as far back as February. He won perhaps the hardest primary. In the course of the primaries, he visited several States in the federations, held meetings day and night.

“This campaign is a marathon, not a sprint, and I can assure you that Asiwaju is experienced enough to have a concrete plan. This is a campaign like no other. Go to the campaign headquarters, several support groups are struggling to register.

“We are not concerned about him taking a break or having strategic meetings. The last time he was in France, he held strategic meetings with different groups. He had a meeting with Governor (Nyesom) Wike’s group.

So shameful that someone who claimed to have built Lagos could not build a single well-equipped hospital to treat his ailment.

I wonder why any reasonable person will still be supporting APC for president

I wish him long life to witness his embarrassment.....

No sane person will be surpporting old, sick, corrupt and controversial Tinubu. He is a symbol of everything that is wrong in this country.

I wonder why mega city built by tinubu will not have one executive hospital where the almighty Jagaban could rest for a month .
Imagine if BAT wins. Shetima or cabal will be running this govt ,because bat will spend half of his time in hospital abroad

Not APC but Tinubu because of his positive antecedents.It is not the party but the individuals' antecedents.
Buhari has opened Nigerians' eyes.

God punish evil people.

Tinubu is terribly sick.

Ok, but where is apc presidential candidate?

Confusion will continue to envelop them and the enemies of Nigeria will be put to shame

So sad that supporters can be angling for;

-A Tinubu that urgently needs life support for his own very existence? Who build Lagos built no healthcare facility to attend to his healthcare needs?

-A man that have severe Parkinson's Disease( shaking palsy) that he needs support to perform fine motor skills or function?

-A man that needs support to walk, urinates on his pants-carrying a urine bag?

-A man with cognitive impairment that is senselessly chanting "cassava, garri, ewa"?

-A myopic man saying: the solution to the economic problems bedevilling this nation is to "print more Naira to save Naira" and that "forex is not my business, salaries are not paid in dollars"?

And that the solution to the unemployment problem is to "recruit 50M youths into the army" and be feeding them agbado and cassava?
