Former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Friday evening, arrived in Lagos after spending about three months in London, United Kingdom for medical treatment.
Tinubu’s arrival was disclosed last night in a statement made available to Theideal by his Media Office.
The statement added that during Tinubu’s trip abroad, he underwent surgery on his right knee as well as rigorous post-surgery physiotherapy on the said knee.
It further stated that, “Contrary to unfounded rumour, he underwent no other surgical procedures and contemplates none in the future.”
According to the Media Office, Tinubu’s recuperation has been without complication and ahead of the schedule by the attending surgeon.
The Media Office also quoted Tinubu as thanking President Muhammadu Buhari, prominent leaders and other stakeholders who visited him in London and wished him well.
The statement reads in part, “ He (Tinubu) has returned fully healed from the knee surgery and fully committed to doing his modest part of advancing the cause of progressive democratic good governance throughout our beloved nation.
“Asiwaju, first and foremost, would like to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for taking the time to visit him in London to express his wishes for a speedy recovery from the knee operation.
“He thanks the Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, governors, party leaders, members of Northern Caucus of the House of Representatives, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly and indeed many others who called on him in London to wish him well.
“He is also not forgetting others who would have loved to visit him but couldn’t make it and his numerous friends, associates, supporters and well wishers who have been with him in prayers and supplications to Allah.
“Asiwaju Tinubu thanks you all.”
