President Bola Tinubu returned to Nigeria on September 29 after a four-week working vacation. He declared himself healthy, ready to "kick" and "ready to work," dismissing health concerns as political rumors. Upon his arrival in Lagos, Tinubu was greeted by officials and political leaders, including Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas.
Abbas expressed optimism that Tinubu's time off would result in increased activity from the administration upon his return. Tinubu's European trip, which included meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Vincent Bolloré, concluded with a visit to Paris. During his absence, the constitutionality of his prolonged stay sparked debate, with some questioning if Vice President Kashim Shettima should have assumed presidential duties.
The House of Representatives Speaker, Abbas, anticipated Tinubu's return would bring renewed vigor to government activities.
