APC leader, Ahmed Bola Tinubu who has been in the United Kingdom after undergoing knee surgery has told visiting Northern Rep caucus that, “Because of God and people like you, I am well. It is just the physio [physiotherapy] that is gruesome.”
The APC leader confirmed that he went through a challenging health condition.
Tinubu’s London home has become a Mecca for political heavyweights who came to show solidarity. They include: President Muhammadu Buhari, the Speaker House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, Governors: Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti).
Fayemi confirmed last week that Tinubu had surgery recently and that he was in London to show solidarity
He said, “Akeredolu and I were in London together to see our leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but it had absolutely nothing to do with 2023 presidential plans whatsoever. That’s not why we went there.
“Asiwaju had just surgery, it is simply proper etiquette or behaviour both in the part of the country where I come from but also generally that when a friend and elder is undergoing health challenges, it would be improper on your part not to show solidarity and support.
“That is simply what took us there; we wanted to associate ourselves with him at a time of need and as an elder, as a mentor and as a big figure in our political party. Nothing wrong in paying him a courtesy visit to check on him to see how he was faring and we did that and we returned. It has nothing to do with 2023; let me make that absolutely clear.”
