Recall that President Tinubu has yet to return to Nigeria, days after the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Saudi Arabia.

The president’s absence has ignited concerns about his whereabouts.

But Alausa said, contrary to speculations, Tinubu is not away from Nigeria on medical grounds.

Alausa said, “Let me tell you, we are developing a healthcare system for Nigerians, not for the President. We have 220 million Nigerians, and that’s what Mr. President wants.

“We have a president who is well, who is healthy and who is leading the country in the right direction,” he added.

The minister said, “The President is getting some of his care in Nigeria.”
