His words:
"Let it be known that the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) does not mock or discriminate against the physical condition of any person. Never! It is an unfair characterisation and offends everything that we stand for.
"Indeed, this would cause offence to even our own members that are also, unfortunately, afflicted that this would never be condoned.
“We must stress that we are apolitical, as an organisation. We have never had a preferred candidate in any political elections including the forthcoming 2023 general elections."
In the viral video which has attracted criticisms, some members of the group clad in their traditional red and white attire were seen chanting a song about a presidential candidate whose “hands and feet are shaking, yet he is saying ‘it is my turn.’”
The song was in reference to Tinubu’s public outburst in June in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, where he told members of his party that “it is my turn to be president.”
The APC flag bearer made the statement while canvassing for votes from the delegates before the ruling party's presidential primary.
