  "summary": "President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after a four-week working vacation in Europe. According to Ripples Nigeria, he spent the final part of his vacation in Paris before arriving in Lagos.\n\nTinubu dismissed speculation about his health, saying he is fit and ready to resume his activities. As reported by Ripples Nigeria, he told journalists that there was no health issue, stating \"Ready to kick, ready to walk. There’s nothing wrong. Rumour will always be emanating from politics, but the facts remain I’m here. Healthy, sound, and ready to go.\"\n\nTinubu initially left Nigeria on August 30 for a three-week working vacation, which was later extended. Premium Times reported that he first travelled to London before moving to Paris. His return to Lagos followed weeks of public discussion surrounding his extended absence from the country.",
