Tinubu cuts short his leave, returns to Nigeria DETAILS +PHOTOS

The Presidential jet conveying President Bola Tinubu at about 6:45pm on Tuesday, touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.

Recall that Tinubu had departed for his annual leave in France on September 4. He was initially expected to split the vacation between France and the United Kingdom, but eventually concluded it in France.

On arrival, he was received by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State and other senior government officials.

During his stay in Paris, the President held a private luncheon with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace.

Both leaders discussed bilateral relations, reviewing strategic areas of cooperation and pledging to deepen ties for shared prosperity and global stability.

This trip is Tinubu’s seventh visit to Paris since assuming office in May 2023 and his first since the BRICS summit in July and August’s TICAD9 in Japan.
