Onanuga has revealed that Tinubu is on vacation and not sick as speculated.
Against all speculations of being sick All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council said the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu jetted out of the country for vacation, as against speculations that he has been rushed abroad for medical treatment.
Reacting to the news of Tinubu’s illness on Wednesday, the APC PCC Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, denied the allegation, saying his principal only went to rest abroad.
Onanuga also noted that he would also use the opportunity of vacation to go for Umrah (lesser Hajj) after observing the annual Muslim fast.
He said, “Which Asiwaju is ill. Was he not seen when he went to cast his vote? Does he look like a sick man? The man just travelled on vacation. He went to take a rest. I think he wants to use the opportunity to observe Ramadan outside the country and move to Umrah from there before returning to Nigeria.
“This man has been on the move since last year and, sincerely, deserves all the rest he can get. His office will soon issue a statement.”
Similarly, the Chief spokesman for the APC PCC, Festus Keyamo, also buttressed Onanuga’s position on the development.
“Please help us tell those flying the news around that the election has ended. What they are doing now is campaigning after the election. They should leave Asiwaju alone. He deserves some rest after the election,” he said.
