President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday dismissed concerns about his health, saying he is “healthy, sound, and ready to go” after returning to Nigeria from his extended working vacation in Europe.
Tinubu spoke with journalists on arrival in Lagos following his stay in France, where he had spent the latter part of his vacation.
Asked about concerns raised by some Nigerians and his supporters about his health, Tinubu said there was nothing wrong with him.
“Ready to kick, ready to walk. There’s nothing wrong. Rumour will always be emanating from politics, but the facts remain: I’m here. Healthy, sound, and ready to go,” the President said.
He returned to the country after ending his working vacation in the United Kingdom and France.
The President’s aircraft landed at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, at 6.22 p.m.
