“When you do knee surgery, you cannot walk like a 25-year-old man. He is still nursing it up till now because it was a major surgery. It is not that he has any other ailment.” Onanuga

Concerned about comments the inability of the President's inability to walk properly, the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga has given further clarification as to the true position.

Onanuga, while reacting to enquired, explained why the president can’t walk properly stating that his principal still nurses a knee injury while also, stressing that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not nursing any other ailment.

It is recalled that in 2021, Bola Tinubu had undergone a knee surgery in London, which was before he commenced his presidential campaign.

This, Onanuga stressed, was responsible for the president’s inability to walk properly.

Refuting insinuations of the president being sick, Mr. Bayo Onanuga said; “No, he was not sick. We made this clear to Nigerians. Tinubu was as fit as the fiddle in the run-up to that election.

“Before that campaign began, I think a year before, he went for knee surgery, which was not a secret as President Buhari even went to see him in London when he was recuperating.

“So, that was what he went to do – knee surgery. That was why he could not walk properly.

“When you do knee surgery, you cannot walk like a 25-year-old man. He is still nursing it up till now because it was a major surgery. It is not that he has any other ailment.”
