The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga has disclosed that the president is still nursing the knee surgery he went through in London.
Recall that Tinubu in 2021 went for a knee surgery in London. This is before the commencement of the campaign for the general election.
While answering a question about the health of the President, Onanuga during an interview with Nigerian Tribune said the President has no other ailment but is still nursing the knee surgery.
In his words, “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.” he said.
