Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state and a national leader of All Progressives Congress has reacted to the rumours making the rounds that he is ill and close to death.Tinubu described the rumours as fake. On his Twitter page, he wrote: “The story about my health is the mother of all lies. Do not believe it. I was on my usual holidays. I thank all well wishers. I return soon,” he tweeted.
Since Tinubu left the country after the Osun election late August, bloggers have flooded all kind of stories about his health, with one story even saying affirmatively that he had lost all sense of cognition, and could no longer recognise friends and relations.
Some other stories said that Tinubu had suffered a serious stroke and has been hospitalised.
Several efforts by his aides and friends to stem the torrents of speculations have failed, with the stories re-emerging, with new lies and concoctions.
Sources close to the politician said today that Tinubu may return to the country any moment to Nigeria to douse all the speculations.
