Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the party’s flag bearer, is healthy in London, the United Kingdom, according to Bayo Onanuga, director of media and publicity for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council.
He revealed the location of the former governor of Lagos State after rumors of his deteriorating health because to his absence from the peace deal signing by all presidential contenders and their party chairmen on Thursday spread in some circles.
Onanuga stated in a Facebook post yesterday evening that, in contrast to rumors, Tinubu was in London, in great health, and in good spirits, dispelling the incorrect implication and an image that was going viral on social media that Tinubu was ill.
”Let me assure Nigerians who genuinely want to know Tinubu’s whereabouts, he is in London, in his house,” Onanuga said.
He further said that the presidential hopeful left the country for a “short break” in preparation for the rigorous electioneering.
The post reads: “Here is a fake photo of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu forwarded to me just now, another handiwork of purveyors of deep fake.
“Whoever is behind this malicious falsehood will face the judgment of God at the right time.
“The man in the photo does not look like Asiwaju, except for his baldness. The man is fatter. Tinubu is slimmer.
”Look at the frame of his glasses. It is certainly not Tinubu’s trademark frame.
“Let me assure Nigerians who genuinely want to know Tinubu’s whereabouts. He is in London, in his house.
”Tinubu left Nigeria on Saturday night for a short break and in readiness for what will certainly be a gruelling campaign.
“I saw him and spoke with him two hours before he left. He was hale and hearty. He was not ill. He didn’t go to treat any ailment.
“We spoke today at about 2 pm. And he told me how his one-week retreat has not made any difference. He was still working like in Nigeria.”
He urged mischief makers to stop spreading rumours about Tinubu, “who by the grace of God and fellow Nigerians will be elected our leader next February.
“We should learn from the divine fate of the man who wished Tinubu dead.”
