Reaction has continued to trail the new photo shared by Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
AbaCityBlog reports that Tinubu has been in London, UK, a couple of weeks ago, however, the Lagos State helmsman has yet to return to Nigeria and hi stay abroad has forced his party to repeatedly postpone launching its presidential campaign.
While Tinubu did not reveal his reason of being abroad, even as other political parties have flagged off their campaign, but speculation has been rife in the media that it was linked to medical treatment.
The former Lagos governor has shown several instances of ill health in recent months, while on the campaign trail. He has also repeatedly fumbled while walking or speaking in public.
Last week Mr Tinubu posted a video that showed him cycling in a gym. It was, however, unclear when the footage was taken.
Mr Tinubu attempted to make a similar insinuation before Nigerians on Thursday morning with the circulation of a photo that showed him working from a table with the caption ‘staying focused’ on his Instagram page.
But the newspaper Mr Tinubu was reading in the photo was the January 23, 2022 edition of The Nation, one of the media organisations he acquired with proceeds of his mindless looting of Lagos treasury.
Quick check by AbaCityBlog proved that indeed, The Nations Newspaper made the publication on January 2022 and also shared the Newspaper edition on its verified Facebook page on January 23rd, 2022.
