Tinubu Is Hale And Hearty Says Sanwo-Olu After He Visits Him In London

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday confirmed that the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu is hale and hearty.

Sanwo-Olu disclosed this while briefing journalists at the Lagos House Ikeja on his visit to the APC National Leader in London on Tuesday amid rumours that Tinubu was sick and hospitalised.

Social media was agog with news that Tinubu was undergoing a major surgery in Maryland, United States over an undisclosed illness.

However, the governor debunked the rumours, adding that he and Tinubu held talks on happenings in APC and across the country.

“He is well, he is healthy and we conversed. We talked about what is happening in our party, what is happening in the nation and just to say to him that all is well,” Sanwo-Olu said.

“You saw him (Tinubu). Yes, indeed, I am the one you saw in the picture that I took when I visited our leader in London just to dispel all of the rumours that were flying around that he was sick and hospitalised.

“I went to see things for myself. It is just to put the mind and heart of people to rest that there is nothing for us to worry about,” the governor disclosed.

On when Tinubu would likely return to Nigeria, the governor did not give any specific date. Rather, he said the APC leader will decide when he will return from his foreign trip.

He added:  “A man has discretion as to decide when to go out of the country and when to return. It is his call. Is he coming here to do Governor’s work? Can’t you see the picture we took together? The picture doesn’t lie.”
