Omoyele Sowore, a presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), alleges that President Bola Tinubu is undergoing treatment in France. Sowore makes the claim during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, linking it to Tinubu’s continued absence from Nigeria after an earlier period abroad.
In the account published by Vanguard, Sowore is asked to provide evidence for the allegation. He says his information comes from sources he considers reliable but he acknowledges he does not know the nature of the ailment or further details of the treatment. Daily Post Nigeria similarly reports that the claim is tied to Tinubu’s prolonged time away from the country beyond a stated three-week period.
Across the reports, the central point is that the allegation originates from Sowore. The outlets describe that no independent verification or official medical details are provided in the cited reporting, and the available information remains limited to Sowore’s assertions and the context of Tinubu’s absence.
