Finally, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has returned to Nigeria from London after a 10-day absence. His aides said he went to rest.
His return, Thursday evening, ends the many speculations over the state of his health.
While away, there was anxiety over his health status. Some said he was very ill. Others said he was dead, prompting him to tweet that he was not dead. He also released photographs, one showing him exercising on a bicycle, a second one with two of his grandchildren, and a third one, working in his study room in London.
Two spokespersons of his Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo and Bayo Onanuga, had put up a strong defence attesting to his good health.
Sporting a suit and truly looking healthy, he was received, among others, by his running mate, Kashim Shettima and the former National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
He arrived on a private jet, apparently, his. Shouts of “Jagaban” rent the air as he stepped down from the plane, by his admirers.
