As the national leader of the All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu continues his recovery after alleged knee surgery, Qed.ng puts together a list of top politicians who have visited the former Lagos governor in London, UK.
The list contains a timeline in ascending order.
1. Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu (August 4)
Mr Sanwo-Olu said he visited Tinubu to dispel rumour about the state of the former Lagos governor’s health, adding that he could not decide for Tinubu when to return to Nigeria.
2. Member of the House of Representatives James Faleke (August 11)
3. President Muhammadu Buhari (August 12)
In photos shared on Facebook by a presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, Tinubu was seen leaning on a walking stick as he posed for a shot with the president. The APC national leader later released a statement, saying Buhari was a caring leader.

Meanwhile, Tinubu’s media aide Tunde Rahman had in July debunked speculations that the APC leader was hospitalised.
“He is not in any hospital. He has no medical problem that would require hospitalisation. Yes, he is out of the country at the moment. He will be back shortly,” Mr Rahman said.
