Tinubu breaks silence on health concerns, says ‘I’m healthy, sound, ready to go’

President Bola Tinubu has dismissed concerns about his health, saying he is “healthy, sound, and ready to go” after returning to Nigeria from his extended working vacation in Europe.

Tinubu spoke with journalists on Tuesday after arriving in Lagos following his stay in France, where he had spent the latter part of his vacation.

Asked about concerns raised by some Nigerians and his supporters towards the state of his health, Tinubu said there was nothing wrong with him.

“Ready to kick, ready to walk. There’s nothing wrong. Rumour will always be emanating from politics, but the facts remain: I’m here. Healthy, sound, and ready to go,” the President said.

He returned to Nigeria after a four-week working vacation, thus ending the apprehension over his long stay without handing over power to Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Earlier on Tuesday, a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced Tinubu’s departure from Paris for Lagos.
