Tinubu Refuses To Quit Smoking Habit Despite Intervention By Close Allies by shortgun(op): 2:31pm On Sep 11, 2025
Since taking office in May 2023, Tinubu has made about 40 international international trips, some of which are believed to be for medical reasons.

President Bola Tinubu has reportedly continued his smoking habit, despite repeated efforts by those around him to persuade him to quit, SaharaReporters has learned.

Sources close to the President said that Tinubu remains committed to smoking and has resisted attempts by aides and associates to help him give up the habit.

The sources noted that, while concern has been raised over the health implications, the President has so far refused to change his behavior.


“Tinubu’s smoking addiction is an issue. The President is still smoking, and despite efforts to get him to stop, he has refused,” one of the sources said.

SaharaReporters learnt that the President’s handlers, concerned about the issue, believe that as a national leader, Tinubu’s personal health choices are matters of public interest.

Tinubu’s frequent international travel has sparked persistent speculation about his health, especially given the number of trips to Europe, especially France and the UK.

While many of these visits are officially described as “working trips” or “diplomatic engagements,” SaharaReporters has reported that some may have included medical consultations.


The Presidency has occasionally issued reassurances, stating that the President is “fit and capable,” but these statements have not fully quelled public concern.

In June, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and International Relations, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaye, disclosed that President Bola Tinubu had undertaken 36 foreign trips since assuming office.

Providing a mid-term review of the administration’s foreign policy record, Enikanolaye noted that the trips, which began after Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29, 2023, spanned Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.

According to him, the President’s destinations included Benin Republic, Chad, Ghana, Senegal, Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Tanzania, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, the Vatican, the United States, Brazil, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, India, and China.

You can't be allowing your platform as a medium to spread fake news.

It is unbecoming that you allowed unsubstantial gossip across River Niger be polluting this platform.

Those who have no respect for their parents should not be allowed to ridicule the president of Nigeria.


Besides smoking is not a crime. It better than drinking water that was used to bath the dead as being done in some region

Dude is old already, I think he has earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants with his body. If he dies tomorrow, he is fulfilled.

Is this what saharareporters has been reduced to? It's a shame. This dude used to shake governments with carefully investigated facts.

Such a pity.
Re: Tinubu Refuses To Quit Smoking Habit Despite Intervention By Close Allies by MartinCorridon: 4:32pm On Sep 11, 2025
Guy why are you bothering yourself?

Tinubu himself loves to send his rivals on a wild goose chase from time to time.

Smoking wouldn't reduce his votes by even 1. Person wey like am go like am, the ones wey hate am....

Let them keep being busy with pointless gossip.

Tinubu intentionally wasted their time with the authenticity of his Chicago certificate

I thought Obidients were the bullies? Why are you crying and trying to bully Seun at the same time? If it were Peter Obi we would’ve seen you in the comments amplifying the story.
