However, Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Tunji Alausa, dismissed the rumours, affirming that Tinubu is not away from Nigeria for medical purposes.
“Let me tell you, we are developing a healthcare system for Nigerians, not for the President. We have 220 million Nigerians, and that’s what Mr. President wants,” the minister stated on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.
“We have a president that is well, that is healthy and leading the country in the right direction.
“The president is getting some of his care in Nigeria,” he emphasized.
