According to Mr Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, the President is still recovering from a knee surgery which he had in London. Mr Onanuga made this known in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune when he was asked about the current state of health of Bola Tinubu.
He said, “No, he was not sick. We made this clear to Nigerians. Tinubu was as fit as the fiddle in the run-up to that election. Before that campaign began, I think a year before, he went for knee surgery, which was not a secret as President Buhari even went to see him in London when he was recuperating.
“So, that was what he went to do – knee surgery. That was why he could not walk properly.
“When you do knee surgery, you cannot be walking like a 25-year-old man. He is still nursing it up till now because it was a major surgery. It is not that he has any other ailment.” he said.
Recall that Tinubu in 2021 went for a knee surgery in London. This is before the commencement of the campaign for the general election.
