Contrary to emerging reports that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) may have contracted COVID-19 and is currently hospitalised in France, his spokesman, Tunde Rahman, has disclosed that he was just visiting for his annual holiday.
365Daily gathered that the ruling party’s stalwart had complained of exhaustion and travelled to France, but Rahman denied claims that his principal is down with COVID-19 in a report published by The Cable.
The aide said: “He took his annual trip and as part of the preparation for the trip he took a COVID-19 test which was negative. Since the advent of the pandemic, Asiwaju has always done his level best to observe, as strictly as humanly possible, all government advice and safety protocols to prevent the spread of the virus and to keep himself and those around him safe from harm.
“This has not changed. Shortly before Christmas, he indeed travelled out of Nigeria for his annual holiday. This is something he does each year to give himself a chance to rest and reflect on the year just passed while also preparing for the challenges and opportunities of the one to come.”
Recall that the APC National Leader recently said the country would soon get rid of the novel coronavirus if people can have faith in God.
The former Governor of Lagos State urged Nigerians to let kindness reign as they celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
