Amid speculation of chronic ill-heath and death, the Presidential Candidate of All Progressives Congress,( APC) Bola Tinubu, has returned to the country.
Tinubu had departed for the United Kingdom last month fuelling speculation in the ranks of the opposition parties that he might have gone to seek serious medical attention or he might have passed away . The photos sent on social media by some members of his family hugging his grandchildren and exercising on the threadmill were seen as a ruse .
As a way of pushing forward their claim that the APC presidential hopeful was very sick, some mischief makers released a viral video of Tinubu wearing a catheter,a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine.
However,Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad on Thursday confirmed Tinubu’s return in a tweet which reads:
“Our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja from London.”
The PUNCH had reported on October 3, 2022, that Tinubu explained he was strong and healthy while dismissing the rumour that he was dead. He also dismissed claims that he had withdrawn from the presidential race.
