Pat Utomi, a political economist, has challenged Bola Tinubu to undergo a medical examination and make the results public, claiming the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate is unfit.
Tinubu, according to Utomi, is unfit for the presidency.
He issued the challenge on Channels Television's Politics Today on Monday, claiming that all signs point to Tinubu being unfit for the position.
"Physically, you can tell he's sick. Let us not delude ourselves. "Let's be real," he said on the show.
Utomi refuted the APC's claims that Tinubu is physically fit, stating that "American presidents go through medicals."
"Let him (Tinubu) go through medicals with Nigerian doctors and then make the decision" (result)
He justified his stance by claiming that next year's election and who leads the country will affect "the lives of millions of people."
According to him, the ruling party would have run another candidate, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
"Our country has suffered greatly as a result of ailing leaders." That is why, as I said, the Vice President stepped up," Utomi added, noting that Osinbajo "would have been a fit person."
He also praised Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-cultural group, for echoing its support for Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi.
The group said at a press conference in Lagos' Ikoyi neighborhood that the decision was based on the "principle of justice, equity, and inclusiveness."

"Peter Obi is the person of Igbo extraction that Afenifere has decided to support and back; he is the man we trust to restructure the country back to federalism upon assumption of office," said Afenifere leader Ayo Adebanjo.
And, according to Utomi, the group is on the right track, dismissing claims that the Afenifere lacks political clout.
