The national leader of APC, and leading presidential aspirant, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria this week after his consultations with some members of his political party in London.
Authoritative source close to the former governor of Lagos State said the presidential aspirant “is expected back in the country in a few days’ time. I am sure you would see him in Nigeria this week.”
Tinubu’s spokesman, Tunde Rahman, had a few days ago dispelled rumours that the former governor was sick and had to travel to recuperate.
“He is in fine health and excellent spirits,” his spokesman, Tunde Rahman had said.
Rahman said that the 69-year-old ex-governor of Lagos State travelled overseas to hold some meetings and further consultations in line with his 2023 presidential ambition.
He had said, “Asiwaju’s trip to the UK (United Kingdom) is not to rest or because of any illness. While abroad, Asiwaju is maintaining a vigorous schedule of meetings and consultations on a range of important matters.
“Whether at home or abroad, the daily schedule of Asiwaju is vibrant and full. Most people couldn’t sustain his high level of activity. This speaks to his exceptional intellectual energy and his commitment to achievement.”
He then promised that Tinubu would return to Nigeria soon “once this set of meetings and talks abroad is completed.”
Recall that Tinubu had stayed in the United Kingdom for over three months in 2021 when he underwent surgery and therapy for a knee injury (Punch)
