On his return to Nigeria from France on Monday, President-Elect Bola Tinubu stated that he is healthy, contrary to reports that he was gravely 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 on 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).
