Former Lagos State Governor and All Progressives Congress chieftain, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is scheduled to undergo a knee surgery, his representatives said on Monday.<\/p>\n

A statement was released from the Tinubu Media Office to explain why the elder statesman had been absent from the public in recent time.<\/p>\n

It read, \u201cThis brief statement explains the reason behind the absence of the former Governor of Lagos State and leading founder of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, from public engagements in the past few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on previous sports injury on one of his knees and recent further aggravation on the knee from rigorous political and family related activities, he has been advised by his doctors, despite his persistent reluctance, that orthopaedic surgery is necessary at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe week of the 5th of August has been slated for the surgery.\u00a0 Tinubu is expected to resume his normal political activities and public engagements following clearance from his doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n
