Tinubu set to return to Nigeria from London after nine days

A presidential aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is expected to return to Lagos on Sunday from the United Kingdom.

He flew out of Nigeria last week for what his minders said was continuation of consultations with some members of his political family.

Tinubu’s spokesman, Tunde Rahman, had a few days ago dispelled rumours that the former governor was sick and had to travel to recuperate.

“He is in fine health and excellent spirits,” Rahman had said.

Rahman said that the 69-year-old ex-governor of Lagos State travelled overseas to hold some meetings and further consultations in line with his 2023 presidential ambition.

He had said: “Asiwaju’s trip to the UK (United Kingdom) is not to rest or because of any illness.  While abroad, Asiwaju is maintaining a vigorous schedule of meetings and consultations on a range of important matters.

“Whether at home or abroad, the daily schedule of Asiwaju is vibrant and full. Most people couldn’t sustain his high level of activity. This speaks to his exceptional intellectual energy and his commitment to achievement.”

Rahman then promised that Tinubu would return to Nigeria “once this set of meetings and talks abroad is completed.”

The day after he arrived in the UK, Tinubu held a meeting with the leadership of the UK chapter of the APC.

Recall that Tinubu had stayed in the United Kingdom for over three months in 2021 when he underwent surgery and therapy for a knee injury.
