Disclosing further, Ajomale disclosed that he followed the drama in London where he was bombarded by a series of emotional calls and visitations by party associates and loved ones who wanted to clarify the rumour of Tinubu’s ill health and purported death.

Ajomale said, “I was also in London but read everything some mischievous people and the opposition parties were saying. Rather than get angry, I found them amusing here in London.

“I have been bombarded with numerous calls from close friends, anxious supporters of the party and those who know I am in London, wanting to know whether he (Tinubu) was alive or critically ill and all those silly comments about his state of health.

“I told them that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. The man is resting and holding meetings. I don’t understand how critics spend time wandering around looking for what is not lost.”

Why is Adamu conspicuously absent at APC NWC meeting with Tinubu, governors?

Meanwhile, the national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Adamu, was obviously absent at the meeting of the party's stakeholders with the presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Recall that Adamu has allegedly written a letter to Tinubu, accusing the presidential hopeful of breaking his agreement with the party on the PCC's list.

Though the party later dissociated itself from the letter, a source revealed that Tinubu had decided to take the bull by the horn and called all aggrieved members to the political round table.
