National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has returned to the country after a surgical operation in the United Kingdom. Tinubu left Lagos, Nigeria for London barely three months ago where he underwent surgery on his right knee.
According to a statement by Tinubu Media Office, on Friday, the former Lagos State governor returned to the country, landing in Lagos Friday evening, October 8 after recuperating from the surgery without any complication.
It read, “During his trip abroad, he underwent surgery on his right knee as well as rigorous post-surgery physiotherapy on the said knee.
Contrary to unfounded rumour, he underwent no other surgical procedures and contemplates none in the future. His recuperation has been without complication and ahead of the schedule by the attending surgeon.
He 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 thanked House of Representatives Speaker 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.”
