BREAKING: Presidency Breaks Silence Amid Rumours Tinubu Travelled to France to See His Doctors
FCT, Abuja – Daniel Bwala, one of the presidential spokespersons, has said President Bola Tinubu is not in Paris, France, to see a doctor.

Bwala, the special adviser to President Tinubu on policy communication, said:
“Sometimes on social media, somebody will be tweeting, you don’t even know who the person is; it can be somebody who has mental health somewhere. You just see that information is coming out.
“The president did not go to see a doctor; he’s on a working visit and we have been publishing his activities.”

Tinubu in Paris, France
Legit.ng recalls that on Wednesday, April 2, President Tinubu embarked on his fifth trip to France since taking office.
The presidency described the trip as a working visit and is expected to last for two weeks.
Since his inauguration in May 2023, President Tinubu has undertaken at least 25 international trips, often labelled as official or private, aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s bilateral relations with other countries. However, there have been reports indicating that some of the trips were undertaken for medical reasons.
He has been reported to take undisclosed health trips to Western countries, including France. These reports often trigger a public reaction, with citizens criticising the government for failing to develop the country’s health system, while its key officials embark on international trips for medical care.
