I’m Back, Says Tinubu Who Returns from France Medical Trip Amid Death Rumours
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to the country after his medical trip to Paris, France where he had treatment for some undisclosed old age ailment.
Tinubu returned on Tuesday amidst rumours from several quarters that he had passed on in the European country.
The two-term former Lagos governor and godfather clocked 69 years on March 29.
Photographs showed Tinubu at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Tuesday during his arrival in Lagos State.
Tinubu was away since last Thursday to France and was conspicuously absent from the one-day working visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Lagos State.
Though the former Lagos state governor has not openly declared his intention to run for president in 2023, it is an open secret that he intends to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
His posters have already flooded Abuja and so were bags of rice branded as ‘Jagaban Rice’, which flooded Kano in April. .
The decision had generated various comments but Tinubu claimed the move was to prove that Nigeria is one.
