365Daily – The National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari for visiting him in London on Thursday.
A statement by his media office issued on Friday, August 13, 2021, read: “All Progressives Congress National stalwart, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has expressed thanks to President Muhammadu Buhari for visiting him in London on 12 August.
“The visit was a friendly and welcome one that underscored the considerate and caring personality of our nation’s President and Commander-in-Chief.
“By this gesture, Mr. President has, again, demonstrated his personal thoughtfulness and humility; defying the erroneous commentaries peddled by his critics.
“Once again, Asiwaju thanks President Buhari for taking the time to visit him and wishes the President nothing but the very best as his administration continues to govern and lead the nation.”
One of the President’s media aides, Bashir Ahmad, had posted some photos on Facebook on Thursday, accompanied with a caption: “President Muhammadu Buhari this evening in London, the United Kingdom, visited Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
In the photos, Tinubu was seen leaning on a walking stick as he posed for a shot with the President.
Tinubu’s health has been a subject of controversy of late but in a press statement on July 31, 2021, his Media Adviser, Tunde Rahman, said though the former Lagos State Governor was out of Nigeria, he was not hospitalised as claimed by some online media outlets.
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, subsequently visited the APC stalwart in London and took photos with him to dispel reports that Tinubu was sick and hospitalised.
