“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, along with his aides, will return to Nigeria tomorrow from Europe,” Onanuga wrote.
President Tinubu departed the shores of Nigeria on April 22 for the Kingdom of The Netherlands on an official visit. Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, said the president was visiting The Netherlands at the invitation of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
After the engagements in The Netherlands, Tinubu proceeded to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia to attend a special World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting between April 28 and 29. The president was expected back in the country after the forum in Saudi Arabia, but he did not return, which fueled speculations about his whereabouts.
Some reports said the president travelled to London from Saudi Arabia for a private visit before heading to France.
