A national leader of the All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after a month absence.
Tinubu arrived in the country on Sunday. He was sighted at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, in company of some of his aides.
Tinubu’s media aide Tunde Rahman was in early January forced to deny reports that Tinubu had been hospitalised in France before the New Year after testing positive for COVID-19.
“Asiwaju is very okay. He is very fine and not sick. He does not have COVID-19. If you must know, we have done COVID-19 test 15 times, each time he felt we had travelled and mingled with many people and could be vulnerable even though he always wore his face mask, but he has been certified negative 15 times,” he said.
“Yes he is abroad. Not in France, but in London resting. So you can see the falsity in that information,” Mr Rahman added.
Tinubu’s return to Nigeria coincides with the crisis brewing between herdsmen and the Yoruba people in which several persons have already been killed and many injured.
