He said the former governor of Lagos state needed a few days off, adding that there was a bit too much pressure on him.

“The man, like I said, needed a few days off because the pressure on him is a bit too much and he needed to rest because the campaign is pretty long – we have about four, five months to campaign before the general election,” the APC chieftain said.

“So, he needs to ensure that he is not worn out by the show of love, and camaraderie – too many people coming to see him. So, yes, he needed to take that breather.”

Oyalowo said this amid the reactions trailing Tinubu’s absence in Nigeria, especially since the campaigns officially kicked off on September 28.
