Media Aide on Information and Strategy to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga has revealed that the president is fit and only recuperating from the knee surgery he passed through in the build up to the 2023 presidential poll.
In an interview with Nigerian Tribune, Onanuga stated that the president has no ailment. However, stating that the President was still treating a knee injury, the Media Aide reiterated that the health status of the president has been made clear to Nigerians.
“No, he was not sick. We made this clear to Nigerians. Tinubu was as fit as the fiddle in the run-up to that election. Before that campaign began, I think a year before, he went for knee surgery, which was not a secret as President Buhari even went to see him in London when he was recuperating. So, that was what he went to do – knee surgery. That was why he could not walk properly”. Ononuga added.
Ononuga also disclosed that because it was a major knee injury, the president should not be expected to walk like an individual far younger than his age.
