“I’m as fit as a fiddle”-Tinubu

Former Governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned back to Nigeria, and denied anything was wrong with his health.

“I’m as fit as a fiddle,” said the former governor. He added: “There was nothing wrong before I left the country. We had the Osun gubernatorial election and I’d planned a long vacation and some other research assignments in the political arena. It was to learn from people who had experienced the development of opposition parties in the past.”

Speaking more on his whereabouts these past weeks, the former Governor had this to say:

“I don’t have to disclose to people my vacation location. But it was very shocking and sad that there were speculations about my health. This is a sign of the lack of trust people have for leadership in the country. When I had the knee problem, I disclosed to Nigerians that I was going for a knee surgery and I came back. Even then, they started peddling rumours. I don’t know whether some people deliberately insinuate that I have a medical problem. It seems like a deliberate falsehood to me. It is all lies. There was no day that I had the need for even Panadol since I left this country for this trip. I was very busy, reading and talking to people of great intelligence that I believe I could gain from politically.”

“I wish them all they wish for me,” he added after saying he prayed for divine forgiveness for those who have been peddling rumours about his state of health.

Asiwaju also used the occasion to speak on the current political situation in the country:

“The entire nation has lost its trust in the ruling party. It is a challenging time and we have to be very careful. The APC has all the ingredients to save Nigeria and we shall save our dear country,” he said.
