Tinubu not in France for medical attention –  Presidency

The presidency on Sunday refuted claims that President Bola Tinubu left the shores of the country to see doctors in France, insisting that it was a working visit.

During a guest appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, clarified that President Tinubu’s trip to France was for medical treatment, contrary to claims made by activist and politician Omoyele Sowore.

Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria in ‘about a fortnight’, according to his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.

He wrote, “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has fled Nigeria again to France for medical care, although some liars in his office claim he is on a working visit.

“It is troubling to know that approximately 200 million Nigerians may be repeatedly subjected to misinformation disseminated daily, and they, in turn, do nothing to liberate themselves.”

In reaction, Bwala defended his employer, saying there was no iota of truth in the claim.

He said, “The president’s trips to France are not related to medical. Have you not seen him receiving people? I mean, there has been information about him receiving people.

“The president did not go to see a doctor. He was on a working visit and we have been publishing his activities.”
