Lagos APC remains silent as Tinubu undergoes surgery

The inner caucus of the All Progressives Congress, especially in Lagos has remained mum over the hospitalisation of the National Leader Of All Progressives Congress and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, at  a hospital in Maryland, the United States where he underwent a surgery for an undisclosed ailment.

The APC National Leader has been off official and party functions in the country for a long time, amidst talks that he is being positioned for the 2023 presidency to succeed the incumbent repressive regime of Muhammadu Buhari.

 “Tinubu is hospitalised in Maryland, US. His health is failing. He couldn’t participate in launching his Arewa library, and he couldn’t participate in the Local Government Area elections last week. He could not attend today’s APC congress due to health reasons.

 “He had a surgery last week,” an authoritative source disclosed.

In January 2021, Tinubu was also reported sick and hospitalised in Paris, France. Tinubu had earlier complained of exhaustion and had travelled out to rest before the news of his collapse went viral.

He was flown to Paris for medical attention in the first week of January.

 “Tinubu is in Paris, France for a medical checkup. His health is deteriorating. Old age and other stuff, but he still wants to be president. This could mean another medical tourism presidency for our country,” a top source had at that time revealed.

Top sources had also revealed that Tinubu did not feel comfortable staying in Lagos during the Presidential visit in order to hide the growing battle between the two from public glare and he instead decided to embark on a journey.

Earlier, the President’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, had tried to downplay the obvious rift between the two leaders and their camps, saying the interview the President granted to Arise Interview where he mentioned Lagos was not in reference to Buhari.
