November 22, (THEWILL) – The Presidency, on Wednesday, said President Bola Tinubu is still nursing the knee surgery he went through in London.
THEWILL recalls that Tinubu, in 2021, went for a knee surgery in London.
But in a chat with Nigerian Tribune on Wednesday, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President has no other ailment, but still nursing the knee surgery.
“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.
“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”, said Onanuga.
