Tinubu travelled for rest, lesser hajj, not medical grounds

Published:

Office of President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has dismissed speculations he travelled out of the country on medical grounds.

A statement by Tunde Rahman in Abuja, yesterday, said the president-elect travelled out to rest after energy-sapping presidential campaign.

He said Tinubu left Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja for Paris, France and would also attend Umrah (Lesser Hajj) in Saudi Arabia.

“After a very exhaustive campaign and election season, President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has travelled abroad to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of May 29, 2023 inauguration. The President-elect left the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja for Europe on Tuesday night.

“The President-elect decided to take a break after the hectic campaign and election season to rest in Paris and London, preparatory to going to Saudi Arabia for Umrah (Lesser Hajj) and the Ramadan fasting that begins Thursday. While away, the President-elect will also use the opportunity to plan his transition programme. He is expected back in the country soon. We enjoin the media to stop publishing rumours and unsubstantiated claims and to always seek clarifications from our office,” Rahmad said.
