The clarification followed the circulation of short video clips on social media, which triggered speculation about the President’s wellbeing. Government officials described such claims as misleading, stressing that Tinubu remained alert, energetic, and focused on advancing Nigeria’s economic and diplomatic interests.

Officials further noted that the state visit remains on course, with all scheduled engagements proceeding as planned. The Presidency urged Nigerians to rely on credible and official sources for accurate information regarding the President’s activities abroad.

The Türkiye visit forms part of Tinubu’s broader economic diplomacy agenda, aimed at attracting foreign investment and strengthening strategic partnerships to boost Nigeria’s economy.
