Tinubu Travels To France
A statement issued by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, said the APC chieftain traveled to France on Monday after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Rahman did not say what the meetings are for or who the former Lagos governor will be meeting with, but he said Tinubu is expected back in the country shortly.
The statement reads, “He is off to Paris, France, to hold some important meetings. The APC standard bearer is expected back in the country shortly.
“Earlier before his departure, Tinubu had attended the public presentation of a book entitled ‘Mr. Speaker’ and launch of legislative mentoring initiative in commemoration of the 60th birthday of Speaker of the House Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
“On June 8, Asiwaju Tinubu emerged the presidential candidate of APC for the February 25, 2023 election at the party’s presidential primaries/national convention held at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
“After the election, he immediately embarked on a series of thank-you and reconciliation visits to those who contested against him at the party’s primaries including the seven aspirants who stepped down for him.”
KnyiDaily recalls that before he left for France, Bola Tinubu had revealed that he is yet to find a running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
