President Bola Tinubu will return to Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, on Wednesday over a week after the end of his official engagement in Saudi Arabia.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy disclosed this in a tweet on Tuesday.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, along with his aides, will return to Nigeria tomorrow from Europe,” he posted.
Before Onanuga’s post, the silence of the presidency on the President’s unofficial trip to France had revived raging debates over concerns and secrecy on the President’s state of health.
The President last Tuesday morning left Saudi Arabia – where he attended the World Economic Forum – for London.
A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale weeks ago announced that the special World Economic Forum meeting to be attended by President Tinubu in Riyadh would end on Monday, April 29.
“After his engagements in the Netherlands, President Tinubu will proceed to attend a special World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting scheduled for April 28-29 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,” the statement had read.
Meanwhile, in the statement, the Presidency carefully left out information about when Tinubu was expected back in Nigeria after the international forum or that he would visit the UK and France after leaving Saudi Arabia.
