He was flown out of the country some days before Christmas in 2020 to Paris, France. There were speculations that he tested positive for COVID-19 but his media aide later denied such reports. The APC leader returned to Nigeria on January 24, 2021, after an absence of about one month from Nigeria.
He then went for a medical check-up on Thursday, June 10, 2021, in France and was conspicuously absent from the one-day working visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Lagos State. Sahara Reporters also reported that Tinubu was hospitalized in Maryland, the United States in July 2021 where he had knee surgery. Other news paper like daily trust, opinion Nigeria, premium times and many others also reported this same story
Conclusion: Based on the above, it is true that Tinubu dozed off on Friday during a meeting of presidential candidates and party leaders with the National Peace Committee (NPC) in Abuja.
