Ovation International publisher, Dele Momodu has disclosed that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, underwent a knee surgery.

Momodu stated that Tinubu is in the UK to recover from the operation.

In an Instagram post confirming the visit of Governors Rotimi Akeredolu and Kayode Fayemi of Ondo and Ekiti states respectively to see the former Lagos Governor, Momodu wrote: “Governors Rotimi Akeredolu and Kayode Fayemi jetted out of Lagos last night to visit former Governor of Lagos State ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU who’s currently recuperating from a knee surgery in London.”

This however contradicts a statement released last month by Tunde Rahman, Tinubu’s media aide.

Rahman had said: “He is not in any hospital. He has no medical problem that would require hospitalization.
