All Progressives Congress National Leader, Bola Tinubu, has returned to Nigeria about 10 days after he travelled to the United Kingdom

The Punch correspondent gathered on Sunday that the former Lagos State governor and presidential hopeful landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport around 8pm Sunday where he was received by some leaders of his 2023 campaign train.

Tinubu’s spokesman, Tunde Rahman, confirmed the development to our correspondent in a telephone chat.

The Agnesisika blog had reported that the 69-year-old politician travelled overseas last week to hold some meetings and further consultations in line with his 2023 presidential ambition.

There were speculations that he had travelled again to London on health grounds but his spokesman debunked it, saying his principal is “vibrant”.

On January 10, Tinubu visited the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and announced to State House correspondents that he had informed the President of his intention to contest the presidential election in 2023.

Before his recent UK trip, Tinubu has since travelled to some parts of the country including Oyo, Niger, and Zamfara states to widen consultations for his political ambition.

With his return, the APC leader is expected to continue consultations for his presidential bid which he described as a lifelong dream.

Tinubu had stayed in the United Kingdom for over three months in 2021 when he underwent surgery and therapy for knee injury.

He, however, returned to the country in October of the same year and travelled to some parts of the country including Oyo, Niger, and Zamfara states to widen consultations for his political ambition.

The health condition of the APC leader has become a subject of controversy of late but many of his staunch supporters have argued that Tinubu is fit to become Nigeria’s President, adding that he is not older than the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, 79; and his predecessor, Donald Trump, 75.
