The Lagos State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday urged residents to pray for the quick recovery of the former governor and national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who it said was ill and had travelled for treatment in a London hospital.
The PDP also urged Tinubu’s family and the Lagos State Government to be honest on the state of health of the former governor.
In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Taofik Gani, the party said Lagosians were interested in knowing the true state of health of the former governor “whose medical bill is being paid with their taxes.”
The party said information about Tinubu’s health would help Lagos residents extend all necessary support to the former governor.
He said, “We wish the former governor, Bola Tinubu, quick recovery as we are made to know from the grapevine that he is ill and in a hospital outside the country. We also feel that the family and the state government should have the obligation to let Lagosians know the actual state of his health.
“It will not be a bad thing if the former governor appears on television or speaks on phone for broadcast. Indeed Lagosians are humanitarian and would readily support him in prayers. Such honest disclosure will also dispel rumours of his death or paralysis that is being spread around”
There have been speculations that Tinubu was ill in London but his aides and officials of his party refuted it.
On his Facebook page last week, Tinubu’s media aide, Sunday Dare, said, “I find the idle charter on some online sites about the alleged ill health of Tinubu as amusing. That some idle minds have continued to perpetuate this absolute falsehood to the point of the ridiculous is disgusting.
“They deserve our prayers for wishing what is not on someone else. For the record, Tinubu is in great shape and his associates who see him and speak with him know this. He is in London helping the APC spread the word about its mission of change. He returns to the country soon and those that wish him dead will be put to shame.”
PRAY FROM PDP TO TINUBU
ReplyDeleteAlara ni ara o ro ohun, eni oku aisun, aowo. I don't understand our level of politics. A person said he is physically okay, PDP is claiming he is sick. Taofik Gani should look for his wig(if he has at all) and go back to law court. Yeye man.
