“It is never a good sign when a presidential candidate feels the need to prove he is still alive” – International journalist, Jonathan Rosenthal reacts to Tinubu’s workout video

Jonathan Rosenthal, the Africa editor of international newspaper, The Economist, has reacted to a video of the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, working out tremendously.

Tinubu had put out the video to debunk alleged report that he has withdrawn from the presidential race due to his health.

In the video, the APC chieftain was vigorously working out on a spin bike in a bid to dispel the rumors surrounding his health and well-being.

He captioned it;

“Many have said I have died; others claim I have withdrawn from the presidential campaign. Well… Nope. This is the reality: I am strong, I am healthy and I am READY to serve Nigerians from Day One.”

Reacting to the video that has elicited different reactions on the internet, Rosenthal said it is never a good sign when a presidential candidate feels the need to prove he is still alive.

 

Quoting Tinubu’s tweet, he tweeted,

“Oh dear, it is never a good sign in a presidential campaign when a candidate feels the need to prove he is still alive. #NigeriaDecides2023”
