Tinubu returns to Abuja after Eid-el-Kabir holiday in Lagos

President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja after the Eid-el-Kabir holiday in Lagos, during which he undertook a series of important political, governmental, and national engagements.

Tinubu, whose plane touched down at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at exactly 5:17 p.m. on Tuesday, was received by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; the president’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu; and other senior government officials.

During the holiday period, Tinubu received Vice President Kashim Shettima and several groups for the traditional Sallah homage, including the leadership of the Senate, led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum under the leadership of its Chairman and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq; All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders from Oyo State, including its governorship candidate, Sharafadeen Alli, as well as APC candidates for the House of Representatives and State House of Assembly from Lagos State, also visited the president.

Tinubu on Monday attended the International Fleet Review at Eko Atlantic City Waterfront as part of activities commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Nigerian Navy.

He commissioned three Nigerian Naval vessels – NNS Oloibiri, NNS Mambila, and NNS Gurara – on the occasion.

On the same day, Tinubu also received the President of Benin Republic, Romuald Wadagni, in a meeting that “reinforced the longstanding bond of friendship, regional cooperation, and economic partnership between the neighbouring countries.”

Before the Eid-el-Kabir holiday, the president had also visited Lagos to participate in the primaries of the APC, electing candidates for the state House of Assembly, governor, House of Representatives, Senate, and the presidency.
