  • THE All Progressives Congress (APC) women leader in Lagos State, Jumoke Okoya-Thomas, has said the presidential candidate of the party in Nigeria’s 2023 polls, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has never spent more than two weeks outside the country. Mrs. Okoya-Thomas said this on Wednesday, October 5, 2022 during an interview with Arise TV while responding to a question on the whereabouts of Tinubu, which has elicited mixed reactions among Nigerians in recent times following reported speculations about his health status. “I’m a women leader. He will show up very soon, within the next 48 hours. I know Asiwaju. He has never spent more than two weeks outside. Go and Google. Even my own self, when I’m not well. I quickly run out to take a rest. READ: Viral video does not show APC national chairman being stripped naked in Nasarawa “I am not saying he’s not well.
