Tinubu ‘jets’ off to London

Bola Tinubu

Presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu has reportedly travelled to London, United Kingdom after a busy week of consultation with stakeholders over his presidential ambition.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), The Cable learnt from a source on Friday, travelled to “see his family” while other sources said he went to rest and see his doctors.

Last year, Tinubu underwent knee surgery in the UK and was away from Nigeria for some months.

Several politicians, including President Muhammadu Buhari, paid him a visit while he was recovering in the UK.

Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Dapo Abiodun, Kayode Fayemi, Rotimi Akeredolu, Abdullahi Ganduje were among those Tinubu received as guests while he was undergoing physiotherapy.

Tinubu has had a busy month since meeting the president to inform him of his presidential bid. Buhari’s tenure comes to an end in 2023.

The former Lagos State governor has been to Zamfara where he donated N50 million to victims of attacks by bandits in Gusau, the capital.

He has also been to Minna, Niger State where he met former military ruler Ibrahim Babangida to inform him about his ambition.

Tinubu was instrumental in bringing Buhari to power in 2015 as his alliance with the Congress for Progressive Change gave birth to APC.
