Tinubu Bars Use Of Phones In France Over Fear Of Revealing Severity Of His Ailment

The president-elect, Bola Tinubu has barred the use of mobile in France to avoid revealing the severity of his ailment.

KanyiDaily recalls that barely one month after he was declared winner of the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu secretly traveled to Europe for a medical emergency.

It was gathered that Tinubu fell ill after the “hectic” electioneering that led to his emergence as the ‘president-elect’ and the tension that built up ahead of the Lagos State governorship and House of Assembly elections where he also voted.

After the medical trip was exposed, Tinubu’s team claimed he travelled abroad to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of May 29, 2023 inauguration.

But a top source told SaharaReporters in March that Tinubu was still being attended to by medical doctors at the facility he went to in Paris, France.

SaharaReporters gathered that Tinubu has forbidden his aides and other people coming close to him in France from using phones not approved by him to avoid revealing his state of health.

“Tinubu has barred his aides, visitors and handlers from using phones not approved for fear of revealing the level of his ailment in France,” an inside source told SaharaReporters.

“He is afraid that there is someone in his inner circle revealing things to journalists and as May 29, when he will be inaugurated gets nears, his people are trying to stop details about his health status from getting out.”

KanyiDaly recalls that Bola Tinubu’s whereabouts stirred controversy on his 71st birthday and his failing health condition “is already getting many leaders of the party nervous.”
