President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to the country from his working visit to France.
The private jet of the two-term governor of Lagos State landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at about 2.15 pm where he was welcomed by his supporters, party members and some governors.
Among the delegation were his Vice President-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima; Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje; Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan; and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)’s anointed candidate for Senate Presidency in the 10th Assembly, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
Dressed in a blue babanriga and his trademark cap to match, Tinubu was accompanied by his wife, Senator Oluremi, who was also robed in a matching blue attire.
The President-elect departed Nigeria to avoid pressures and distractions while he continues to finetune his transition programmes and policy options with some of his key aides.
A statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, disclosed that Tinubu would also spend his stay engaging with investors and other key allies with the goal of marketing investment opportunities in the country.
Before embarking on the trip, Tinubu met with the candidates endorsed by the APC for Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu.
Tinubu is expected to join President Muhammadu Buhari and other dignitaries for the official opening of the Dangote Refinery complex in his home state on Monday.
