Speculations that President Bola Tinubu travelled to London to attend to his health have been debunked by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Politics Nigeria reports that Tinubu went on a private visit to the United Kingdom after the recent Paris Summit.
The visit had fuelled speculations that the president had gone to see his doctors in London.
Reacting to the speculations, the director of publicity in the APC, Bala Ibrahim, insisted that Tinubu has proven throughout his rigorous electioneering campaign and post-inauguration activities that he was fully prepared for the task.
He said: “Why is it that every time the president travels, people will speculate that he went for treatment? Yet, not once did any of these speculations come to pass. Everything they speculated against the president didn’t materialise.
“For God’s sake, why can’t they jettison this mentality of ‘the man is sick?’ When you investigate, you will discover those making these silly statements are not doctors. Some are even mechanics. Who is healthy?
“They should even look at what nature is doing. About three of the speculators have died while the man is moving.”
