‘Tinubu hail, hearty, not dead,’ says aide
Amid rumours of the death of chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in Paris, France, where he was reportedly being hospitalized, media aide to the National Leader of the ruling party, Tunde Rahman, has cleared the air on the reports, as he stated that his principal ‘is hale and hearty.’
Media space was rife with claims of the passing of Tinubu on Thursday, after undergoing multiple surgeries initially at a Maryland hospital in the United States, and later rumoured to be in Paris, France, over his failing health conditions
However, Rahman, in a statement issued, weekend, declared that the APC chieftain ‘is not in any hospital. He has no medical problem that would require hospitalization.’
“His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is fine. He is hale and hearty. He is not in any hospital. He has no medical problem that would require hospitalization. Yes, he is out of the country at the moment. He will be back shortly.
“Anytime he travels out of the country, the next thing some mischievous people would say is he is sick, hospitalized or has died. It is shameful that perpetrators of this evil are not deterred by the fact that each time this fake news has been propagated, they have been proven wrong.
“Who is afraid of Asiwaju Tinubu? Those wishing Asiwaju Tinubu evil or dead should be careful. They should know the matter of life and death is in the hand of only God Almighty,” Rahman’s statement read.
