‘I Am Hale And Hearty,’ Tinubu Says On Return

 

Upon his return to Nigeria from France on Monday, the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu says he is hale and hearty contrary to speculations that he was seriously ill.

He stated this at his residence in the Asokoro area of Abuja shortly after his return from France.

Addressing his supporters, he said, “Let me take some rest for tonight after a long flight. Eat some Amala and Ewedu. After that, sleep a little, and then tomorrow, we’ll meet.”

On rumours about his health, Tinubu said, “Whatever they like, they speculate. I’m healthy, sound, and okay.”

 

The President-Elect said he is prepared for his inauguration on May 29, adding that he is still consulting with those that will be part of his government.

“You don’t govern alone; you govern with people. You consult, assemble, and then hit the ground running,” he stated.

Tinubu returned with his wife, Senator Oluremi; and they were received by the Vice-President-Elect, Kashim Shettima; Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; amongst many other high-ranking members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
