Backstory…
President Bola Tinubu returned to Nigeria after spending four weeks on a working holiday in Europe.
Channels Television reports that the Nigerian Air Force One carrying the President arrived in Lagos from Paris, France, at about 6:22 p.m. The aircraft then taxied to the presidential wing of Murtala Mohammed International Airport.
According to Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, the President chose to travel to Lagos first to honour the memory of Chief MKO Abiola, whom he described as a martyr of Nigeria’s democratic struggle.
Recall that Tinubu left Nigeria for London on August 30 before travelling to Paris, where he had dinner and held other meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron.
President Tinubu then postponed his return to Nigeria due to a last-minute adjustment to his travel schedule, administrative sources told TheCable.
