Tinubu hospitalised in France – Sowore alleges

African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has claimed that Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu is currently hospitalized in France. Sowore made this allegation during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, noting that Tinubu's prolonged absence from the country, following three weeks spent abroad on official duties, has raised concerns.

He suggested that some of Tinubu's public appearances may be staged to mask a serious medical condition, drawing similarities to the situations with former Presidents Muhammadu Buhari and Umaru Yar'Adua, who were also reportedly ill and in the hospital for extended periods. "Reliable sources have said Tinubu is undergoing treatment in France," Sowore stated.

He pointed out that the occasional appearances by the president are intended to deceive the public, echoing the same tactics used when Buhari and Yar'Adua were hospitalized. Sowore, who has been in the United States for the past two weeks, was monitoring events at the United Nations General Assembly and noted that the details of Tinubu's ailment remain undisclosed, hence the decision to keep him hospitalized.
