Tinubu returns from London, says ‘I’m fully healed after knee surgery’

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, returned to Nigeria on Friday evening after spending over three months in London, the United Kingdom, for surgery.

The former governor said he “has returned fully healed from the knee surgery.”

Tinubu arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos and was received by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, among other top aides and supporters.

Tinubu, in a statement made available to The Star by his Media Office, said during his trip abroad, he underwent surgery on his right knee as well as rigorous post-surgery physiotherapy on the said knee.

While in London, over 30 politicians visited the APC leader in his London home.

Notably amongst the politicians include President Muhammadu Buhari, Governors Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Umar Ganduje (Kano), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), and Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), among others.

According to the statement, “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.”

Tinubu thanked 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 also thanked the 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,” the statement read.
