President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will begin a three-state visit tomorrow, Saturday, before settling in Lagos for the end-of-year holidays.
His journey will first take him to Maiduguri, Borno State, where he will commission projects executed by Governor Babagana Zulum in collaboration with the Federal Government. During his stay, the President will also attend the wedding of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno Governor Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, to Hadiza Kam Salem.
The President will then travel to Bauchi State on a condolence visit. He will pay his respects to the state government and the family of the late revered Muslim cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, who passed away on November 27.
Following the visit to Bauchi, President Tinubu will proceed to Lagos, where he is scheduled to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays.
His itinerary in Lagos includes several engagements, notably as the Special Guest of Honour at the Eyo Festival on December 27.
The event, to be held at Tafawa Balewa Square, will pay tribute to notable personalities, including the President’s late mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, as well as former Lagos State Governors Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Michael Otedola.
