Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The lawmaker representing the Abia North senatorial zone in the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has reacted to rumours that President Bola Tinubu is sick.<\/p>\n

That there has been speculation about the president\u2019s health, with claims alleging that he is currently in a critical condition.<\/p>\n

The presidency has, however, dismissed the rumour, revealing that President Tinubu is working from home.<\/p>\n

In a video clip shared on his official Facebook page on Monday night, Senator Kalu said he had a telephone conversation with the president in the past few hours.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker, who confirmed that the president is in a good state, however, noted that anybody can be tired or unwell.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI spoke with him two hours ago and the president is in good shape. The president has made contact with some international people and the president is preparing for his journey to Japan and stopover in Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody can be tired. Like three days ago, you can ask my daughter here, I told her that I was going upstairs and I have been there resting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody can be sick or not feel like going out. I think the president just doesn\u2019t feel like going out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want politicians to stop this rumour. We need to work together to face our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
