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.

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.
