The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has finally opened up on his recent purported visit to London, to see President Muhammadu Buhari.
His remark came on the heels of a fake report circulating in the social media, that Tinubu and the former Interim National Chairman of the APC, Bisi Akande, did not visit Buhari, in London.
Reacting, Tinubu said that it was only people that are crazy, that will say he was not with Buhari last week.
In a statement on Monday night, Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State, said mischief makers were behind the news, that he did not visit the President.
The statement, signed by his Spokesperson, Tunde Rahman, said Tinubu was in London with Akande, to visit Buhari, and that they met the President at the Abuja House.
The statement reads: “The report about the so-called denial of the visit, is the handiwork of mischief-makers.
“I felt we should not dignify that with a response, that report beggars belief.
“Asiwaju Tinubu and Baba Akande were in London. The reason they travelled to the United Kingdom, was to see President Buhari.
“And they visited him last Thursday, and held discussions with him at the Abuja House, in London.
“After the visit, the President, as a mark of respect, saw off his guests to the door.
“Pictures were taken during and after the visit, and released to the media by The Presidency.
“These pictures were international headlines. How can anybody in his or her right senses, be saying there was no such visit? It’s simply crazy!”
