Uproars struck the internet as one of the presidential aspirants under the party APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, missed the peace accord and is seen days later, exercising by cycling.

The former governor says that only Atiku can restructure Nigeria. He was sometimes supporting the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate, Tinubu, but has taken a U-turn to support the People Democratic Party candidate, Atiku owing to the fitness video
In order to clear the air of his health issues, Tinubu posted a video of him cycling a spinning bike on Sunday, October 2, 2022.

Atiku while speaking in Ogun State’s capital, Abeokuta, declared his support for Atiku and said if there’s health there’s no need to show proof of life.
In his remarks, the former governor said, “I was looking through newspapers today and I saw a picture of somebody trying to prove he is healthy. If there is health, we don’t need to tell people that we are healthy, but we are aware that Atiku is the healthiest of the presidential candidates in this country.”
Babangida Aliyu further said, “Atiku is the healthiest of the presidential candidates in this country.”
Giving reasons why Atiku should be voted he said, “We need security and only an Atiku presidency can reclaim our land from Boko Haram, can reclaim our lands from bandits, from IPOB and all other bad people that are making our lives difficult.
“It is only an Atiku presidency that can restructure Nigeria. There must be state police so as to ensure security in the local areas, only an Atiku Abubakar presidency can do that.”
“The economy, there is extreme poverty in the land, therefore, members of PDP and fellow Nigerians, on the day in February, elect Atiku Abubakar because the development of any nation depends on the education of that country”.
“You have seen what has happened to us, today our students in the public universities have been at home for more than seven, eight months. Our secondary schools many of them are so dilapidated that they cannot serve as secondary schools.”
“Our elementary schools, there is no country that has over 20 million children out of school and you expect to be developed, only an Atiku Abubakar presidency can help us solve this problem.
Babaginda Aliyu affirmed that a vote for Atiku is a vote to rescue, save and develop Nigeria.
