The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, returned to Nigeria on Sunday after holding meetings and consultations over his presidential ambition in the United Kingdom.
While in the UK, The Point gathered that the former Lagos State governor had hosted Ade Omole, leader of the United Kingdom chapter of the party and the Nigeria Diaspora for Asiwaju team.
The meetings held in London, according to AbdulRasaq Danjuma, Omole’s personal assistant, was to consult with the NDA and “critical APC stakeholders” in the UK on Tinubu’s 2023 presidential aspiration.
Danjuma in a statement said that contrary to media reports, Tinubu was hale and healthy.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in good health and excellent spirits. He is in good health, hale and hearty. He will be returning to Nigeria within a few days after necessary consultations here in the UK,” he had said.
It would be recalled that immediately he travelled out of the country, the rumour mill was agog with the story that Tinubu travelled out of the country to seek medical treatment in the United Kingdom.
But Tinubu’s spokesperson, Tunde Rahman, debunked the rumour, saying his principal was fine and in excellent spirits.
Rahman explained that the former governor of Lagos State travelled overseas to hold some meetings and further consultations in line with his 2023 presidential ambition, saying the APC chieftain would return to Nigeria the following week.
