This is a lie from the pit of hell. An unfounded and fallacious rumor concocted by agents of darkness and idle minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4675441075MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"yiv4675441075MsoNormal\">\u201cAsk if they have proof. The day he returns I will invite you to welcome him.\u00a0 It is quiet amusing that such a wicked rumour that deserves no attention but to be trashed is even being pursued. It is those that think he has a stroke that suffer from a stroke of the mind\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4675441075MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"yiv4675441075MsoNormal\">Another source said \u00a0\u201cYes, it is true Asiwaju is out of the country. But he is on vacation. He was in the United States for some days, Los Angeles I guess. He then proceeded to London.It is normal for him at this time to observe his summer break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4675441075MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"yiv4675441075MsoNormal\">Efforts by\u00a0<a style=\"color: #196ad4;\" href=\"http:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pointblanknews.com<\/a>\u00a0correspondent in the United States to locate the residence of Tinubu proved abortive, as Dare did not disclose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"base-card-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"base-card-footer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speculations that Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is down with stroke in an American Hospital, has been described as a wicked rumor.
