Tinubu left Nigeria for France on Tuesday, March 21.

The President-elect, in a statement issued by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, said he travelled abroad to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of his inauguration on May 29, 2023.

The former two-term governor of Lagos State added that he was prepared to leave France for Saudi Arabia for Lesser Hajj and the Ramadan Fasting which commenced on Thursday, March 23.

However, the Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, James Faleke, said Tinubu will return to Nigeria on Monday, noting that the President-elect will land at the presidential wing of the Abuja airport in Abuja by 2 p.m.
