Nigeria's President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has arrived the country in the company of his wife, Senator Oluremi, after seven weeks in Paris, France
Tinubu, whose private jet arrived at the presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 4.30 p.m., was given a rousing welcome by party supporters and stakeholders, including members of the dissolved APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
Present at the airport to receive Tinubu were the Vice President-elect; Senator Kashim Shettima, Secretary of the dissolved APC PCC; James Faleke, its Director of Diaspora; Ade Omole, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau, and a former Edo governor, Adams Oshiomhole, among other party chieftains.
Tinubu is expected to be escorted from the airport by a carnival-like motorcade to the Defence House, where he would stay ahead of his inauguration on May 29.
Tinubu travelled out of Nigeria to France on March 21 to take a rest and plan ahead of his inauguration, according to a statement issued by the now-dissolved APC PCC.
“The president-elect had left the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
“He decided to take a break after the hectic campaign and election season to rest in Paris and London, preparatory to going to Saudi Arabia for Umrah (Lesser Hajj) and the Ramadan fasting,” the statement read.
However, the President-elect was not seen in Saudi Arabia, raising questions about his health once again.
