President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu returns to country from France

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the country’s soon-to-be president, just got back from a business trip to France.

About 2.15pm, the two-term governor of Lagos State’s private jet touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, where he was met by party members, supporters, and a few other governors.

Senator Godswill Akpabio, the chosen candidate of the ruling party for the position of Senate president in the 10th Assembly, was also in the delegation, along with his vice president-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima, governor Abdullahi Ganduje, and senator Ahmad Lawan.

Tinubu was accompanied by his wife, Senator Oluremi, who was also clad in a blue “Babariga” and wore his trademark cap to match.

While he continues to fine-tune his transition plans and policy options with some of his key aides, the president-elect left Nigeria to avoid unneeded pressures and distractions.

The President-elect would also use his visit to meet with investors and other important allies in order to promote investment opportunities in the nation, according to a statement released by his media adviser, Tunde Rahman.

Tinubu had a meeting with Tajudeen Abbas and Benjamin Kalu, the APC’s nominees for Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, before leaving on his journey.

The former governor of Lagos is anticipated to attend Monday’s official opening of the Dangote Refinery complex in his home state along with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (ret. ), and other dignitaries.
