Tinubu, Macron dine at Élysée Palace

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu dined privately with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Thursday evening. The dinner, hosted by Nigeria’s Ambassador to France, Ayodele Oke, provided a more relaxed setting than typical state meetings.

Tinubu and Macron were captured on photographs enjoying an intimate engagement, walking side-by-side and holding hands through the palace's grand interiors. The two leaders were seen in a dapper attire, with Tinubu in a tailored blue suit and Macron in a dark navy suit. At the dining table, they appeared relaxed, seated opposite each other with fine glassware and a floral centerpiece.

The President was accompanied by France’s First Lady, Brigitte Macron, and pictures showed the trio together. As Tinubu left, the two presidents shared a warm embrace. The Presidency described the dinner as reflecting the enduring relationship between Nigeria and France, and their shared commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation. Tinubu thanked Macron for his hospitality and friendship.
