Tinubu in France for Medical Treatment After Post-Election Illness
- Tinubu departed for France on a trip described as a "private visit", but sources say it was for medical leave to see his doctors
- Tinubu had previously gone on medical leave to France before his inauguration to prepare for the stress of the ceremony
- In May, Tinubu visited Lagos to take a medical rest and see some doctors who had arrived to give him follow-up care
- After the March elections, Tinubu fell ill and was flown to France for treatment, being so severe he couldn't speak for 5 days and had to be intubated
- Upon returning from treatment in France, Tinubu was seen with a suspected PICC line medical device attached to deliver medications directly to veins near his heart
