Nigeria's President-elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to the country on Monday ahead of his 29 May, 2023 inauguration..
Tinubu who arrived the country in company of his wife, Sen. Oluremi was received by a crowd of excited party faithfuls when his private jet touched down at the presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 4.30 p.m.
He was given a rousing welcome by party supporters and stakeholders, including members of the dissolved APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) led by Sen. Kashim Shettima, the Vice President-elect; Mr James Faleke, Secretary of the dissolved APC PCC; Mr Ade Omole, its Director of Diaspora; Gov. Simon Lalong of Pleteau, and a former Edo governor, Adams Oshiomhole, among other party chieftains.
Tinubu was escorted from the airport by a carnival-like motorcade to his house in Asokoro area of Abuja.
Tinubu travelled out of Nigeria to France on March 21 to take a rest and plan ahead of his inauguration, according to a statement issued by the now dissolved APC PCC.
“The president-elect had left the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
“He decided to take a break after the hectic campaign and election season to rest in Paris and London, preparatory to going to Saudi Arabia for Umrah (Lesser Hajj) and the Ramadan fasting,” the statement read.
Support groups in Abuja, Niger and Nasarawa States had earlier converged at the APC PCC Secretariat at Abuja Central Business District for onward movement to the airport to welcome Tinubu.
