ABUJA, NIGERIA — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has forcefully dismissed circulating reports and online rumors regarding his health status, declaring that he remains healthy, sound, and fully prepared to execute his official duties.
The President’s clarification follows a wave of online speculation and unverified reports claiming severe health concerns following his recent travel to Europe.
Presidency Rejects Speculative Claims
Addressing newsmen and supporters upon his return to the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, President Tinubu attributed the persistent health rumors to political maneuvering by opposition quarters.
“I am ready to kick, ready to work. Rumours will always emanate from politics, but the fact remains that I am here, healthy, sound, and ready to go,” Tinubu stated, emphasizing that his trip served as an enjoyable break to recharge before resuming his administrative schedule.
The Presidency similarly refuted allegations suggesting emergency medical interventions, reassuring the public that executive operations and administrative functions under the current government remain fully on track without disruption.
Fact-Check on Alleged Security Briefings
Senior government communications officials have dismissed claims alleging that foreign intelligence or security briefings predicted incapacitation prior to the 2027 election cycle.
Officials urged media outlets and digital platforms to verify government releases directly through official communications channels rather than relying on unauthenticated internet reports and speculative commentary aimed at creating political disquiet.
