APC National leader, Tinubu hospitalised in France

The National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has reportedly hospitalised in Paris, France after falling ill.

The source gathered that the former governor initially complained of exhaustion and was flown to Paris for medical attention at the weekend.

However, contrary to speculations, he has not been diagnosed with COVID-19.

According to the Senior Special Adviser to Tinubu on Media and publicity, Tunde Rahman, said his principal has done COVID-19 test 15 times and all results came negative.

Rahman said “Asiwaju does not have COVID-19. If you must know, we have done COVID-19 test 15 times, each time he felt we had travelled and mingled with many people and could be vulnerable even though he always wore his face mask, but he has been certified negative 15 times.”

He denied that the APC stalwart is down with COVID-19.

“This story is inaccurate. Asiwaju is healthy and does not have COVID-19,” he said.

 “He took his annual trip and as part of the preparation for the trip he took a COVID-19 test which was negative.

“Since the advent of the pandemic Asiwaju has always done his level best to observe, as strictly as humanly possible, all government advice and safety protocols to prevent the spread of the virus and to keep himself and those around him safe from harm.

“This has not changed. Shortly before Christmas, he indeed travelled out of Nigeria for his annual holiday.

“This is something he does each year to give himself a chance to rest and reflect on the year just passed while also preparing for the challenges and opportunities of the one to come.

“There will be no further comment on this story from our office.”

He was silent on whether or not Tinubu has been hospitalised in Paris.
