Tinubu embarks on three-state tour, heads to Lagos for end-of-year holidays

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Saturday depart Abuja on a three-state visit to Borno, Bauchi and Lagos states.

According to a statement issued on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President will begin the trip in Borno State, where he is expected to commission projects executed by the Borno State Government under Governor Babagana Zulum, in collaboration with the Federal Government.

While in Maiduguri, President Tinubu will also attend the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno State Governor and Senator, Ali Modu Sheriff, and his bride, Hadiza Kam Salem.

From Borno, the President will proceed to Bauchi State for a condolence visit to the state government and the family of the late Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, a renowned Islamic scholar and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, who died on November 27.

After the condolence visit, President Tinubu will travel to Lagos, where he will spend the end-of-year holidays.

During his stay in Lagos, the President is expected to be the guest of honour at the Eyo Festival scheduled for December 27.

The festival, to be held at the Tafawa Balewa Square, will honour notable personalities, including President Tinubu’s late mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, former Lagos State Governor Alhaji Lateef Jakande, and former governor Chief Michael Otedola.
