Breaking: Tinubu is alive, well in London, group reacts to death rumour
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT), a political group pushing the presidential interest of the National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of 2023 General election, has debunked the death rumour of the politician on some online platforms on Tuesday evening.
Reacting swiftly in a statement over the rumour, the founder of BAT movement Otunba Abiodun Ajiboye, said, Tinubu was not critically ill and had been flown abroad as reported.
He described the death rumour as fake coming from those who don’t mean well for the country explaining that the report which was poorly written, though, didn’t disclose the name of the hospital in question where Tinubu died in London.
According to him, “looking through the story , you can see that the story is not professionally written, the story refused to disclose the precise time he was flown out and nature of ailment, the story refused to state the surrounding circumstances and lastly , they do not even know the name of the hospital he has been flown to.
“All this simply attest to the fact that it is not a credible story, but rumour to fill the media space”. He added.
“For avoidance of doubt, Asiwaju has a registered hospital he attends in London and his regular doctors who have his medical history . So, the question of undisclosed location is just to lay further credence to the fact that the report is fake news.
“By and large, it is not uncommon for Asiwaju at 69 to go for regular medical check up, I hereby implore all and sundry to disregard the news flying around about his state of health , he is hale and hearty. Asiwaju is due back soon , I mean he is due back very shortly” He confirmed.
