By our reporter/ The national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), on Sunday said only God can decide when his life will end.
Tinubu who returned to Nigeria last Friday, after spending months in London, where he underwent knee surgery, stated
this when Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, hosted him at an event at the government house in Ikeja.
“I’m a little emotional now, but I’m happy. God is the giver of life and the only one who can take life,” he said.
“And he (God) says, if I grant you power and the privilege in this life; I am the only one who can take it from you if you don’t use it in the way and manner that promotes humanity. God can give power to any one he wills.
“It is the same God that has spared us till today and has given us the privilege. I give glory to God, because I’m standing before you hale, hearty and well.
“Today is a day of joy for me. Having fixed today for this great event, we are here giving praises to God. May God bless all of you in attendance. I am grateful. I cannot say more than that today. Thank you all.”
Speaking earlier, Sanwo-Olu said it has been a joyful period for Lagos residents since the return of Tinubu.
“We have countless reasons to be grateful to God for bringing Asiwaju back home, fully rejuvenated,” he said.
“Since Friday when our leader and father came back, it has been a joyful moment for the teeming residents of Lagos, his supporters and Nigerians across the country.
“We give glory to God who brought you (Tinubu) back with sound health and stronger vigour.”
Speaker of the house of representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila who commended Tinubu’s supporters for the show of solidarity, however, wondered why Tinubu’s health became a national issue.
