Tinubu’s true state of health has also been shrouded in secrecy as his political party, APC, had insisted that he embarked on the foreign trip to rest after strenuous campaign activities.
The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has said that the “president-elect”, Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) did not go to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, during the Ramadan celebration as claimed by his handlers.
Tinubu’s handlers had claimed that the ailing former Lagos State governor who travelled to Paris, France shortly after the March 18 elections, for medical services, was in Mecca for the Ramadan celebration.
Tinubu’s true state of health has also been shrouded in secrecy as his political party, APC, had insisted that he embarked on the foreign trip to rest after strenuous campaign activities.
But Sowore on Saturday said that Tinubu’s handlers lied about his going to Mecca, saying that Tinubu was never with Buhari and was not seen anywhere in Mecca.
The human rights activist added that everything about Tinubu had remained hidden since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him winner of the presidential election amid controversies and criticism by many Nigerians and the international community.
On Twitter on Saturday, Sowore said, “Bola Tinubu @officialABAT wasn’t seen anywhere in Mecca (some of his handlers claimed he briefly travelled there) but he was never with @mbuhari and his tightly controlled apparitions in France are largely controlled but unverifiable sightings.
“What’s Tinubu’s real health condition? Why is everything hidden since his selection and departure to France where he seems to be on an Island?”
SaharaReporters had on April 4 reported that Tinubu barred his aides, visitors and handlers of his social media handles from using mobile phones not approved of in France to avoid revealing the severity of his ailment.
SaharaReporters exclusively reported in March that Tinubu travelled to Europe some days after the governorship and State Assembly elections to seek medical care after falling ill.
It was gathered that Tinubu fell ill after the “hectic” electioneering that led to his emergence as the ‘President-elect’ and the tension that built up ahead of the March 18 Lagos State governorship and House of Assembly elections where he also voted.
Tinubu had confirmed SaharaReporters’ story saying he travelled to Paris, France and the United Kingdom to rest and plan the transition programme, according to a statement by his spokesperson, Tunde.
