The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council has confirmed the early departure of the party’s candidate, Bola Tinubu from the Minna rally on Wednesday.

The confirmation was given in a statement by the Director, Media, and Publicity of the council, Bayo Onanuga who however debunked trending stories that Tinubu left the rally because of ill health.

The statement released via the campaign council’s social media pages read; “A massive crowd of APC supporters welcomed the presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to Minna on Wednesday, as he arrived for the mega rally.

“The cheering crowd was unprecedented, according to journalists at the Trade Fair Complex, venue of the rally.

“Tinubu, who held another successful rally in Kaduna on Tuesday, arrived in Minna in the evening of the same day for a series of meetings with APC leaders.

“The crowd was so huge that Tinubu spoke briefly to appreciate the supporters and identified the party candidates seeking elective positions.

“Contrary to the rumours that he was rushed off stage because of health concerns, Tinubu cut it short to attend to other programmes of the day.

The statement added that after the rally, Tinubu inaugurated his campaign office in the city and also paid a visit to the Emir of Minna and was later hosted in a luncheon organized by the Governor of Niger, Abubakar Bello.
