As against the news that hit the media on Sunday, January 1, 2021, that the national leader of the All Progressives Congress and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is down with COVID-19 and flown abroad, the media aide to the political giant has debunked the news.

In a statement made available to our correspondent, Rahman claimed that Tinubu is very fine.

“That’s a lie from the pit of hell. Asiwaju is very okay. He is very fine and not sick. He does not have COVID-19. If you must know, we have done COVID-19 test 15 times, each time he felt we had travelled and mingled with many people and could be vulnerable even though he always wore his face mask, but he has been certified negative 15 times. Yes he is abroad. Not in France, but in London resting. So you can see the falsity in that information you talked about. Thank you,” he wrote.

Recall that in April 2020, Tinubu was made to undergo a coronavirus test when his chief security officer died from the virus and was certified negative.
