A former Niger State governor, Babangida Aliyu, on Monday mocked the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, over a latest video showing him on a fitness bike. Tinubu posted the video on his Twitter handle on Sunday to prove his fitness to Nigerians who had raised concern about his health. In the video the former Lagos State governor Tinubu was seen pedalling the bicycle and dismissed reports on his withdrawal from the 2023 presidential race. He wrote: “Many have said I have died; others claim I have withdrawn from the presidential campaign. “Well… Nope. “This is the reality: I am strong, I am healthy and I am READY to serve Nigerians from Day One.” READ ALSO: Ex-gov Aliyu rules Peter Obi out of 2023 presidential race, tips him for 2027 Aliyu, who spoke at a rally of South-West support groups for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said the 2023 presidential race was not about a “fitness machine.” He said a medically fit presidential candidate would not post a video showing him on a fitness machine if he was indeed fit. The ex-governor said: “Atiku is the healthiest of the presidential candidates in this country, it is not about a fitness machine, and everybody knows the fittest. “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. “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. “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. “We have become the poverty capital of the world that should not be. We are expected to, every day, produce 2.1 million barrels of crude oil, but only last month, we were able to produce 900,000, it has gone as low as 600,000.” “ Join the conversationOpinions Support Ripples Nigeria, hold up solutions journalismBalanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.

Donate Now More than 1 in 5 adults is inactive in all but four states, according to new state maps of adult physical inactivity prevalence released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For these maps, physical inactivity for adults is defined as not participating in any physical activities outside of work over the last month – activities such as running, walking for exercise, or gardening. State and territory-level estimates of physical inactivity range from 17.7% of people in Colorado to 49.4% in Puerto Rico. In seven states and one territory (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Puerto Rico), 30% or more of adults were physically inactive. By region, the South had the highest prevalence of physical inactivity (27.5%), followed by the Midwest (25.2%), Northeast (24.7%), and the West (21.0%). “Getting enough physical activity could prevent 1 in 10 premature deaths,” said Ruth Petersen, MD, Director of CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity. “Too many people are missing out on the health benefits of physical activity such as improved sleep, reduced blood pressure and anxiety, lowered risk for heart disease, several cancers, and dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease). The new maps are based on combined 2017-2020 data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), an on-going state-based telephone interview survey conducted by CDC and state health departments. This is the first time that CDC has created state maps of physical inactivity for non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaskan Native and non-Hispanic Asian adults. The demographics of physical inactivity The maps point to notable differences in physical inactivity levels by race and ethnicity. Overall, Hispanic adults (32.1%) had the highest prevalence of physical inactivity outside of work, followed by non-Hispanic Black (30.0%), non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaskan Native (29.1%), non-Hispanic White (23.0%), and non-Hispanic Asian adults (20.1%). The maps also show that:
*49 of 52 jurisdictions had sufficient data to be included in these results. Physical activity can benefit everyone. Lack of access to safe and convenient places to be physically active may contribute to the observed racial and ethnic disparities. What more can be done? CDC is working with communities and partners across the country as part of the Active People, Healthy NationSM initiative, to make it easier, safer, and more convenient for people to be active where they live, learn, work and play. The overall goal of the initiative is to help 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027 to improve overall health and quality of life and to reduce healthcare costs. The initiative helps community leaders take advantage of proven strategies to make physical activity safe and enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities. Building active and walkable communities may also help support local economies and create more cohesive communities. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2nd edition, recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week. This can be broken into smaller amounts such as 22 minutes every day or 30 minutes/five times a week. Individuals and families are encouraged to build physical activity into their day by going for a brisk walk or a hike, walking the dog, choosing the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator, parking further away in the parking lot and walking the rest of the way, walking or cycling to run errands, and getting off the bus one stop early and walking the rest of the way. The key is to move more and sit less. Community leaders can also encourage school and youth physical activity programs, educate, and support families and individuals to be more active. They can create activity-friendly routes to everyday destinations such as home, work, school, and grocery stores. Together, leaders and community members can work with various populations to design and implement culturally relevant solutions to reduce disparities in physical inactivity.
