Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said that no leader can lead from the hospital.
The presidential hopeful on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, said this during a meeting with party delegates in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
According to Amaechi, even though he had been told that being energetic was not enough to lead a state, no one can lead from a hospital bed.
He added that he is physically and mentally fit to govern the country, adding that he also has the needed experience.
“I come with experience, I’m 56 years old, I will be 57 in May, so I’m the bridge between the young and the old. I have energy and people have said, no, being energetic is not enough to preside over a state, but you can’t preside over a state in the hospital,” he said.
“People have asked me why I ran round the stadium. I was checking to see how fit I am, so I had to run round the stadium to confirm to myself that I’m strong enough to carry the problems of the country, whether it is mentally or physically. Because you need both mental capacity and physical fitness to manage this country,” he added.
