President-elect Tinubu leaves for Europe for medical care after falling ill over election buildup

President-elect Bola Tinubu has been alleged to have travelled to Europe to seek medical care after falling ill after the just concluded election.

In an article published on SaharaReporters, the media claims that Tinubu fell ill after the Saturday March 18 governorship polls where he was spotted casting his vote.

According to the publication, a source revealed on Wednesday that Tinubu left for Europe on Tuesday night.

“Tinubu has left for Europe for medical care. He fell ill after voting on Saturday during the Lagos guber election. He was attended to by local doctors but he has left for Europe for proper medical care,” one of the sources close to him revealed.

“He initially said his doctors should be brought down to Nigeria for him, and that when things die down, he would leave. But I've confirmed that he left last night (Tuesday night) because he is definitely ill,” another source confirmed.

"His plane Falcon 9X with registration number VP-CBT can’t be tracked by air flight tracking websites."

After investigations, SaharaReporters reported that: "VP-CBT - Unknown Owner (Cayman Islands (UK))

This aircraft (VP-CBT) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator."

This will be Tinubu’s first trip outside the country as president-elect.

Since Bola Tinubu made his intentions known to contest the election, there has been several concerns raised about his health.

Prior to the elections, he was reported to have travelled to the UK for medical check-up, a claim his party dismissed.
