All Progressives Congress leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has arrived in Lagos after spending over 100 days in London.
Tinubu arrived at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport and was received by the Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other APC top guns, such as Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi.
The details of his arrival had been kept top secret apparently to prevent rowdy scenes at the airport.
Tinubu left Nigeria in July for a knee surgery and had to undergo physiotherapy sessions which the politician described as ‘gruelling’.
He told members of the House of Representatives northern caucuses on 1 October that the physiotherapy sessions had been the more difficult part of his recovery.
While in the UK, he received a throng of well-wishers, with President Buhari leading the train.
Then he was visited by the Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu and other governors from the Southwest.
The Speaker of House of Reps, Femi Gbajabiamila, his deputy Wase and other members of the House also visited him.
Senators also paid him well-wishing visits. Among them were Senator Kashim Shettima, former governor of Borno and Aliyu Wamakko, former governor of Sokoto.
Former Zamfara governor Abdulaziz Yari also visited him.
In a statement after Tinubu’s return, Tunde Rahman, his media adviser said:
“During his trip abroad, he underwent surgery on his right knee as well as rigorous post-surgery physiotherapy on the said knee.
“Contrary to unfounded rumour, he underwent no other surgical procedures and contemplates none in the future.
“His recuperation has been without complication and ahead of the schedule by the attending surgeon.
“He has returned fully healed from the knee surgery and fully committed to doing his modest part of advancing the cause of progressive democratic good governance throughout our beloved nation.”
“The APC chieftain expressed his appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as other political leaders, who visited him while he was in London”.
