Tinubu still recovering from knee injury – Bayo Onanuga reveals

Presidential aide on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu is sick.

During an interview with Nigerian Tribune on the President's health, he noted that Tinubu is still recovering from the knee surgery he had in London, the United Kingdom.

He said this following claims that Tinubu was suffering from an undisclosed illness prior to the launch of presidential campaign for the 2023 election.

Addressing the issue, Onanuga revealed that aside the knee surgery, the President has no other ailment.

He said, “No, he was not sick. We made this clear to Nigerians. Tinubu was as fit as a 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.

“When you do knee surgery, you cannot be walking like a 25-year-old man. He is still nursing it up till now because it was a major surgery. It is not that he has any other ailment.”
