Tinubu Returns To Nigeria After Four-Week Working Holiday In Europe

By Sabiu Abdullahi

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after spending four weeks in Europe on a working holiday.

The President arrived at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Tuesday evening.

Tinubu had departed Paris, France, earlier in the day for Nigeria.

His Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President chose to return through Lagos to honour the memory of the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, widely known as MKO Abiola.

Abiola was the winner of the June 1993 presidential election, which was annulled by the military government at the time.

According to Onanuga, Tinubu is scheduled to attend the premiere of a movie celebrating Abiola’s life and role in Nigeria’s democratic struggle on Independence Day.

The event is expected to take place at the Wole Soyinka National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos.

Tinubu had travelled to Europe in August as part of his annual leave, with the Presidency later announcing an extension of his stay.

The President’s return brings to an end his four-week stay outside the country.
