During a special prayer organized by friends to welcome him back from a three-month medical vacation in London, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, praised God for sparing his life.
Tinubu returned to Nigeria on Friday after undergoing “knee surgery” in the United Kingdom’s capital.
On Sunday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu received the APC leader, his political associates, and well-wishers for thanksgiving at the Lagos State House on Marina, Lagos Island.
Tinubu acknowledged God as the giver and taker of life during the event.
”I am a little emotional now but I am happy. God is the giver of life and the only one who can take life.
”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.
”It is the same God that has spared us till today and has given us the privilege, that I give glory to because I am 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,” he said.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, members of the State Executive Council, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly and Local Governments, and members of the Governor Advisory Council (GAC) were among those who attended the event.
