regards to the case of Buhari's vacation in

- The former governor of Lagos state, urged
Nigerians to stay off trying to be
mischievous regarding the leadership and
governance of the nation
Former governor of Lagos state and national
leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said only
people that are crazy will say he was not
with President Muhammadu Buhari in
London.
In a statement on Monday, Tinubu, a former
Governor of Lagos State, said mischief
makers were behind the news that he did not
visit the President.
The statement, signed by his spokesperson,
Tunde Rahman, said Tinubu was in London
with the former Interim National Chairman of
the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, to visit Buhari
and that they met the President at the Abuja
House.
The statement reads: “The report about the so-
called denial of the visit is the handiwork of
mischief- makers.
“I felt we should not dignify that with a
response. That report beggars belief.
“Asiwaju Tinubu and Baba Akande were in
London. The reason they travelled to the
United Kingdom was to see President Buhari.
“And they visited him last Thursday and held
discussions with him at the Abuja House in
London.
“After the visit, the President, as a mark of
respect, saw off his guests to the door.
“Pictures were taken during and after the visit
and released to the media by The Presidency.

“These pictures were international headlines.
How can anybody in his or her right senses be
saying there was no such visit? It’s simply
crazy!”
In a similar vein, Governor Ibikunle Amosun
of Ogun state, has affirmed that he visited
President Muhammadu Buhari in London.
The President is said to be in London,
receiving treatment for an undisclosed
ailment.
There have been controversy over a picture
showing Amosun and the president in the
United Kingdom, amid allegations an old
image was edited to make it look recent.
However, on Monday at an event at the
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library,
Abeokuta, Amosun told journalists that he
indeed visited the president in London.
