President Bola Tinubu returned to Nigeria on Tuesday evening after concluding a one-month European vacation that began on August 30. The trip caused speculation about the president's whereabouts as it extended beyond the initially planned three-week duration. Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga confirmed that Tinubu had extended his vacation by a few days without providing a specific end date.
Despite earlier assurances that the trip had ended, the president's absence sparked concerns from the opposition, with the African Action Congress (AAC), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) demanding clarity on the situation. Onanuga defended Tinubu's decision to continue the vacation, stating the president could effectively govern from anywhere in the world due to modern globalisation.
The presidential plane touched down at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos around 6pm, arriving to honor the memory of Chief MKO Abiola, a symbol of Nigeria's democratic struggle.
