Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday said the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu will return to the country when he wants.
Speaking to journalists at the Lagos House, Ikeja on his visit to Tinubu in London, United Kingdom on Tuesday, Mr Sanwo-Olu also disclosed that his meeting and the picture he took with Tinubu should dispel the rumour that the APC leader was sick and hospitalised.
Social media was awash few days ago that Tinubu was hospitalised and undergoing a major surgery in Maryland, United States over an undisclosed illness.
But Sanwo-Olu while dispelling the rumours during an interview with journalists few hours after his return from London said Tinubu is hale and hearty, adding that they both discussed on happenings in APC, national issues and other matters during the visit.
When asked when Tinubu would likely return to Nigeria, Sanwo-Olu said only the APC leader will decide when he will return from his foreign trip.
“A man has discretion as to decide when to go out of the country and when to return. It is his call. Is he coming here to do governor’s work? Can’t you see the picture we took together? Picture doesn’t lie,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu further said, “Yes, indeed, I am the one you saw in the picture that I took when I visited our leader in London just to dispel all of the rumours that were flying around that he was sick and hospitalised.
“You saw him (Tinubu). He is well, he is healthy and we conversed. We talked about what is happening in our party, what is happening in the nation and just to say to him that all is well.
“I went to see things for myself. It is just to put the mind and heart of people to rest that there is nothing for us to worry about.”
