Again! Tinubu Visit London For Medical Check-Up

A Presidential hopeful and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has travelled out of the country after weeks of consultation with stakeholders in the country over his 2023 presidential ambition.

A source in the camp of the former governor of Lagos State said that Tinubu travelled to London, the United Kingdom, “to see his family”.

Other sources said the APC chieftain travelled out of the country to rest and see his doctors.

This is coming less than four months after Tinubu returned to Nigeria from a three-month medical trip to the UK where he was said to have undergone knee surgery and “rigorous post-surgery physiotherapy”.

On January 10, Tinubu visited President Muhammadu Buhari where he formally announced his intention to contest for the 2023 presidency.

The former governor of Lagos described his bid to vie for the presidency in the next elections as a lifelong ambition.

He had also visited Orji Uzor Kalu, the chief whip of the senate, in November 2021, at his residence in the federal capital territory where they had a closed-door meeting.

The former Lagos governor recently visited Oyo state over the deaths of Jimoh Oyewunmi, the Soun of Ogbomoso; Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, and Alao-Akala, former governor of Oyo State.

He also met with Seyi Makinde, the Oyo State governor, in Ibadan.

On January 20, Tinubu also paid a visit to Minna, Niger State capital, to consult with Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, former military head of state, and “receive his prayers.”

Tinubu was, however, absent at the formal inauguration of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu movement’s working committees in Lagos on Thursday.

Speaking during the event, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos State governor, described the APC chieftain as the most qualified successor and marketable choice for the 2023 presidency.
