*Tinubu reunites with associates, as Sanwo-Olu hosts APC leader*

*•Ex-Governor: ‘I’m hale, hearty and well’*

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu takes his first outing since his return from the United Kingdom (UK) last Friday night.

Tinubu, on Sunday, reunited with his political associates and protégés at a welcome-back event and prayer hosted by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the State House in Marina.

At 2:45pm, the former Lagos State Governor was received by Sanwo-Olu in company of his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, and Chief of Staff, Mr. Tayo Ayinde.

The simple event was attended by all elected office holders and political appointees in Lagos, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, and Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.

Members of the State Executive Council, Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) and council chairmen were also in attendance.

Sanwo-Olu said Tinubu’s return was more than cheery news for his supporters across the country, noting that the APC leader had been rejuvenated with renewed vigour for his next political move.

The Governor said: “We have countless reasons to be grateful to God for bringing Asiwaju back home, fully healed and rejuvenated. Since Friday when our leader and father came back, it has been joyful moments for teeming of residents of Lagos, his supporters and Nigerians across the country. We give glory to God who brought you (Tinubu) back with sound health and stronger vigour.

“On behalf of all political office holders, party leaders and faithful, we welcome our leader back and we give praises to God on his behalf that the intention of evil-minded people who spread malicious rumour against our leader did not materialise. This event shows Asiwaju is healthy and possesses more energy to embark on his next move in politics.”

Tinubu, who clad in dark grey kaftan and blue cap to match, said he was highly elated to return after his three-month absence from the country.

The APC National Leader said the prayer event was an emotional one for him, saying he was overwhelmed by good wishes from Nigerians while he was away. He said took all prayers as valuable compliments.

Tinubu said: “I’m a little emotional now but I’m happy. God is the giver of life and the only one who can take life. And he (God) says, if I grant you power and the privilege in this life; I am the only one who can take it from you if you don’t use in the way and manner that promote humanity. God can give power to anyone he wills.

“It is the same God that has spared us till today and given us the privilege. I give glory to God, because I’m standing before you hale, hearty and well. Today is a day of joy for me, having fixed today for this great event. We are here giving praises to God. May God bless all you in attendance. I am grateful. I cannot say more than that today. Thank you all.”

Dr. Hamzat said Tinubu’s return deepened his associates’ belief in God, stressing that the APC National Leader’s full recovery from the knee surgery was a sign of strength and favour from God.

“Now that Asiwaju is back, we are ready for work. The work has started and we are committed to doing it,” the Deputy Governor said.

Gbajabiamila, who spoke on behalf of the National Assembly members, described Tinubu as “an eagle”, who is focused and always ahead of the game.

The Speaker wondered why a “simple knee surgery” became a national issue, but the solidarity shown towards Tinubu across ethnic divides indicated the APC National Leader is an enigma.

Obasa called Tinubu a teacher and benefactor, saying his return had put malicious rumour against him to rest.

Chairman of Conference 57, who spoke on behalf of the council chairmen, said members of the Conference were ready to join Tinubu is his next political move.

Others who spoke glowingly about the APC National Leader included the lawmaker representing the Lagos West in the Senate, Sen. Olamilekan Adeola, and GAC chairman, Prince Tajudeen Olusi.

Prayers were offered for Tinubu by Muslim and Christian clerics, while party leaders at the event took turns to welcome him back home.

Imagine moving from Buhari to Tinubu, I'm pretty sure God is tired of this country self.

Opolo eyes no be open eyes.

If we are to go by Tinubu body language, he wants to contest in the presidential election in 2023.

This should be an end to the talk by some people, asking him to back Osinbanjo.

Osinbanjo can contest in the primary election alongside other interested candidates like Tinubu... May the best man win.

Welcome.
Osinbajo is the man.

Why are children from one particular region so obsessed with Tinubu

FFK in atten-dance.....?

It will be disastrous for SW to have 2 bigwigs at the APC primaries. That is what the north wants.
Tinubu should step down for Osinbajo...

You mean children from the erosion ravaged region?
It's because they don't have someone like him.

Go and write it down somewhere, Osinbanjo won't have up to 10% of Tinubu votes in the primary election if he contest against Tinubu.

Tinubu have far more loyalist in the APC. No man in the APC can defeat him in the primary election.

I don't understand where the hatred is coming from. What's bad in having an honest opinion over a leader? People from south east come to south west for businesses and jobs and they haven't been a concern to anyone.

This Lagos you're all fighting about, is Lagos a city? Look at world class cities compared to Lagos is like comparing heaven with hell fire. Let everyone live his/her life peacefully.

Buhari prefers Osinbajo and he will tell his loyalists to work for him.

Except Buhari decides to be mischievous by tactically allowing Tinubu and Osinbajo to cancel each other out so that a northerner can emerge.

Welcome back our leader. We wish you well as we approach 2023. May the will of God be done.

The way people canvases and campaign for this Tinubu of a man to be Nigeria's president amazes me at times.

Tinubu is good, Tinubu is a presidential material, Tinubu is this, Tinubu is that.

If he is that good why couldn't he build a world class hospital in Lagos state to be treated there when he falls sick than going to a hospital in UK to get his treatment?

Lol

Are you an APC member or what? Abi you get insider for APC who tell you this?

Go write today's date and time down.

No candidate can defeat Tinubu in the primary election in APC.

If only you lived in Lagos in the 90's before Tinubu became the Governor of Lagos State. Lagos State was underdevelop, dirty, unsafe, low IGR etc

Or you fit list any Governor wey build a world class hospital for them state between 1999 and 2007?

In fact, how many state government all over Nigeria don build a world class hospital, or did the PDP build a world class hospital in Abuja or any part of the country during their time in Abuja?

I hope you won't be telling me Nigerians should vote for any other candidate apart from the flag bearers of the APC and PDP in 2023

Only a dull person will believe the APC and PDP will lose the presidential election in 2023.

Unless we scatter our democracy before the presidential election in 2023 sha.

Oya who is your candidate?

BAT 2023

Tinubu's popularity begins and ends in Lagos. Don't get it twisted!

Osinbajo's stint in acting presidency made him popular across the country.

If his popularity starts and ends in Lagos State, how is he able to make sure the APC presidential primary election was held in Lagos in 2014? And how did the candidate(GMB) he supported during the primary election win the primary election?

Ipob yuth and their obsession with Tinubu, see as dem don carry this thread enter trending posts

All that ended on May 29, 2015. Since then, he has been cut to size.

Tinubu's is a brilliant man and his political ideology transformed Lagos state so you can't compare him with Buhari

God bless you Tinubu, the man that has built greater leaders

Reps Come on, legislators are removed at will by their respective governors. Legislators are of little value in politics.

Tinubu must be a joker to be banking on legislators.

One chance

My question is that didn't Tinubu be on 14 days or 7 days isolation before coming out juat asking. Or no Covid-19 protocol again in Lagos state
