Aide Reveals Why Tinubu Travelled To London
Tunde Rahman, a media aide to All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader Bola Tinubu, has clarified why his boss flew to the United Kingdom, UK.
NEWS DIRECT recalls that Nigerians’ comments to Tinubu’s London trip erupted on social media yesterday, with many claiming that he travelled to the UK for routine medical treatment.
Remember that the former Lagos State Governor returned to Nigeria in October after getting knee surgery in the United Kingdom.
Tinubu, a 2023 presidential candidate, was claimed to have traveled abroad to attend various meetings regarding his political ambitions, according to a statement released on Friday by his media aide.
The Asiwaju of Lagos, according to his aide, will return to the country next week following his consultative meeting with stakeholders in the United Kingdom.
He said, “Asiwaju Tinubu is in fine health and excellent spirits. The speculations in a national newspaper and on social media are just what they are: unfounded and untrue speculations.”
“Asiwaju’s trip to the UK 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. Asiwaju will return to Nigeria next week once this set of meetings and talks abroad is completed.”
