FG breaks silence on Tinubu’s whereabouts, debunks ill-health rumours

The federal government has debunked speculations surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s absence from the country, saying the latter’s absence is not due to medical reasons.

TRIBUNE ONLINE gathered Tinubu is yet to return to Nigeria days after the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Saudi Arabia, prompting concerns about his whereabouts.

But the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare Tunji Alausa while reacting to the speculations, said Tinubu is not away from Nigeria on medical grounds.

“Let me tell you, we are developing a healthcare system for Nigerians not for the President. We have 220 million Nigerians and that’s what Mr President wants,” the minister said on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.

“We have a president that is well, that is healthy and leading the country in the right direction.

“The president is getting some of his care in Nigeria,” he added.
