The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has returned to Nigeria today (Thursday) from London, QUEST TIMES can report.
Tinubu, who left Nigeria on September 24, returned after a sudden absence that was reported to be a resting period.
The former Lagos State governor had also tried to show proof of his physical fitness while in London, even though that was met with derision by a skeptical public.
Tinubu had left the country after the secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Hon James Faleke, released a 422-member list of the council.
The PCC list met resistance from party stakeholders, including the NWC and governors, who claimed they were not carried along.
While the controversy and disaffection created by the list among party faithful continued, Tinubu jetted out to London to rest.
The news of his travel triggered a wave of speculations about his health, with rumours swirling about his death, especially following his inability to attend the peace accord signing ceremony in Abuja.
All the presidential candidates signed the accord.
Reacting to his death rumour, Tinubu posted a seven-second video of himself riding a static bike, as proof that he was fine.
The presidential hopeful also tweeted through his verified Twitter handle and declared that he was hale and hearty and ready to serve Nigeria from day one.
Tinubu was welcomed at the airport by his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, DG of PCC, Simon Lalong, and other party faithful.
