Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), left Nigeria for London to rest.
This revelation was made on Friday, September 30, by a member of the APC presidential campaign council, Ayo Oyalowo.
Oyalowo, during an Arise TV interview on Friday, disclosed that Tinubu has not been having enough rest since preparations for the ruling party's campaigns started, hence the need to leave Nigeria to take a break from work.

“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in London. He cannot rest in Lagos, they will not let him rest. He came to Abuja most of the time, and they will still not let him rest.
"This man has been working for an average of 20 hours in 24 hours in each day. So reasonable people thought he should leave the country because people will not let him rest since the campaign is coming soon.
“The invitation for the peace accord came after Tinubu left the country. Even his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, was not in town, he had to leave what he was doing in Maiduguri.”
Medical trip? Reason why Tinubu travelled to London revealed
Tinubu had travelled to the United Kingdom (UK) for a meeting earlier scheduled for last week.
A source cited insiders within Tinubu's camp as disclosing that the former Lagos governor will meet with an unnamed group in the UK.
He is also expected back into the country before the official flag-off of the presidential campaign.
Legit.ng gathered that the flag-off of the APC presidential election will hold in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, within the week.
Campaigns for the 2023 national elections will officially kick off on 28 September ahead while that of governorship and state houses of assembly will commence on 12 October, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
