Newsone recalls that Bola Tinubu celebrated his 69th birthday in Kano State, northern Nigeria, a decision which generated various comments but the former Lagos state governor claimed the move was to prove that Nigeria is one.
Tinubu met with some scholars who threw their weight behind his “2023 presidential ambition” in December 2020.
This was even as he paid sympathy visits to traders and other victims of the fire outbreak in company with the state governor, Aminu Bello Masari.
Nigeria is already suffering for voting for Buhari, who had spent a considerable time, that should have been used to work for the country, treating himself abroad, on taxpayers’ funds.
“Tinubu still wants to be president. This could mean another medical tourism presidency for our country,” another source told SaharaReporters.
Tinubu was reported sick and hospitalised in Paris, France In January 2021. He had earlier complained of exhaustion and travelled out to rest before the news of his collapse went viral. The top APC chieftain was flown to Paris for medical attention in the first week of January.
Meanwhile, Newsone Nigeria reports that Bola Tinubu was absent during the one-day working visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to inaugurate the Lagos-Ibadan Railway project in Lagos State.
