The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a former Governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu Thursday evening returned to Lagos, Nigeria.
Speaking with newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Senator Tinubu said he was never indisposed during his trip abroad.
“I’m as fit as a fiddle. There was nothing wrong before I left the country. We had the Osun gubernatorial election and I’d planned a long vacation and some other research assignments in the political arena. It was to learn from people who had experienced the development of opposition parties in the past,” he said.
Tinubu said it was very shocking and sad that there were speculations about my health. “This is a sign of the lack of trust people have for leadership in the country. When I had the knee problem, I disclosed to Nigerians that I was going for a knee surgery and I came back. Even then, they started peddling rumours.
“I don’t know whether some people deliberately insinuate that I have a medical problem. It seems like a deliberate falsehood to me. It is all lies.
“There was no day that I had the need for even Panadol since I left this country for this trip. I was very busy, reading and talking to people of great intelligence that I believe I could gain from politically.”
