The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has declared that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, is hale and hearty.

Keyamo made the remark while noting that Tinubu traveled abroad to rest.

He was reacting to reports that Tinubu was sick and rushed abroad for medical treatment.

It was reported that the president-elect was rushed to Paris for urgent medical attention.

However, Keyamo said those still nursing their wounds from the loss of the presidential election were behind the rumor.

In a terse statement, Keyamo said: “Please help us tell those flying the news around that the election has ended."

“What they are doing now is campaigning after the election. They should leave Asiwaju alone. "He deserves some rest after the election.”

Keyamo also disclosed that he could not confirm if Tinubu traveled abroad for vacation.

“I cannot confirm. "But all I can tell you is that Asiwaju is hale and hearty,” he said.
