The former governor of Lagos State and the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a surprise return to Nigeria on Tuesday evening after it was rumoured that he was flown abroad to attend to his deteriorating health.
He, however, did not disclose the purpose of the trip or the country visited.
Tinubu was conspicuously absent last Thursday when the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), visited Lagos and commissioned some projects.
Many APC stalwarts including Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, amongst others, were present at the occasion.
However, Tinubu’s unusual absence fueled speculations about his health with some news platforms (not The PUNCH), saying things have fallen apart between the Jagaban of Bourdillon and Buhari but the Presidency has since refuted the reports.
