Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday said 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, the United Kingdom on Tuesday amid rumours that Tinubu was sick and hospitalised.
A few days ago, social media was awash that Tinubu was undergoing major surgery in Maryland, the United States over an undisclosed illness.
But the governor debunked the rumours, adding that he and Tinubu both held talks on happenings in APC and across the country.
To buttress his point, the Lagos governor also shared pictures of him explaining something to the party’s national leader.
According to Sanwo-Olu, Jagaban Of Lagos is well and healthy, and that they talked about what is happening in their party, including the nation
He also confirmed That Tinubu was the person in the picture that he took when he visited their leader in London just to dispel all of the rumours that were flying around that he was sick and hospitalised.
On when Tinubu would likely return to Nigeria, the governor didn’t give any specific date.
Rather, he said the APC leader will decide when he will return from his foreign trip.
The governor’s reaction comes four days after Tinubu’s spokesman, Tunde Rahman, said his principal does not have any medical problem requiring hospitalisation.
In a statement he issued on July 31, he warned those he described as mischief makers to desist from spreading fake news, noting that those who wish Tinubu dead should be careful.
