Breaking: Tinubu Returns, Limping

By Gideon Njoku

Finally, the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria.

He returned Sunday morning, but with an obvious limp on his right leg.

He discarded the walking stick which he was seen using in London at the time President Muhammadu Buhari went to visit him.

Donning his signature cap, he wore a simple white caftan.

Tinubu has been in the United Kingdom, since July, 2021 attending to his health. He, allegedly, had a knee cap replacement, probably, the right knee. He missed out in many political and social activities.

His residence in London became a Mecca of sorts for Nigerian politicians, including National Assembly members, State Governors, and a delegation  from the Lagos State House  of Assembly.

It is expected that with his return, his Bourdillion, Ikoyi Lagos residence will witness a large number of politicians, and that political activities in the South-west, in particular, will pick up.

Even though Tinubu has neither confirmed nor denied it, he is very strongly speculated to be eyeing the Presidential seat in 2023. His campaign has since taken off by a number of groups and associates.

Last week, Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, described Tinubu as the “Capon” of the South, and said they were waiting for him for direction.
