Tinubu’s Saudi trip for Umrah, not treatment — Aide

Dada Olusegun, President Bola Tinubu's Special Adviser on Social Media, clarified that Tinubu's upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia is not for medical treatment but to perform the Lesser Hajj (Umrah). He also mentioned that the President intends to pray for Nigeria and seek God's blessings for his re-election campaign in 2027. Responding to a tweet by human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, Olusegun denied the claim that Tinubu is planning a medical trip.

He pointed out that Tinubu had performed Umrah twice in 2022 before the APC primary and presidential elections, and his prayers were answered both times. Tinubu's schedule in recent days included visiting Kaduna for his re-election campaign, hosting high-profile guests, and chairing a FEC meeting. Olusegun emphasized that the President is in good health and that no negative outcome is intended for the people.
