Ailing Tinubu Visits UK Doctors Days To Flag Off His Presidential Campaign

Bola Tinubu, the APC’s national leader and candidate for president, has traveled to London, the United Kingdom, to see his doctors.

This occurs just a few days before the start of political campaigning ahead of the upcoming presidential election, which is slated to take place on February 25, 2023.

According to numerous sources, Tinubu departed Nigeria for London on Saturday night at midnight.

The former governor is expected to see his doctors at a central London clinic today (Monday).

“Our principal, Tinubu, is sick and tired. “He is expected to see his doctors in London today at a Central London Clinic,” a source told SaharaReporters. 

“He left Nigeria at 12 midnight on Saturday. He ought to have launched the Presidential Campaign Council today but it was postponed till Wednesday for President Muhammadu Buhari to return from the US. However, it has now been postponed indefinitely.

“There is mass disaffection within the party currently.” 

Meanwhile, APC had postponed the inauguration of its 422- member presidential campaign council (PCC) earlier scheduled for Monday, to Wednesday.

The list of the presidential campaign council members was released on Friday.

According to Bayo Onanuga, spokesperson for the council, members are also expected to participate in a “special prayer session” to usher in the presidential election campaign. 

But sources told SaharaReporters that the inauguration would not hold on Wednesday, with the latest developments.  

In 2021 alone, Tinubu spent over 80 days patronising hospitals in France, the United States and the UK where he underwent surgeries amid the poorly equipped hospitals in Nigeria led by the APC government.
