The presidency on Sunday debunked a report by The International Centre
for Investigative Reporting, ICIR, purporting that President Bola Tinubu is
currently sick and in critical condition.
The ICIR had, in a recent publication, alleged that preparations were
underway by President Tinubu’s medical team to fly him abroad for urgent
medical attention.
Quoting Aso Rock sources, the report alleged that Tinubu had been
bedridden for several days, resulting in his absence from key state
functions.
According to the medium, all President Tinubu’s scheduled activities,
including the Federal Executive Council Meeting had been cancelled since
the beginning of the week.
However, Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, who spoke with
journalists on Sunday night, dismissed the rumour of the president’s
illness.
On why the president did not attend any public function since last week,
Onanuga replied that the president could choose to work from home.
