President Bola Tinubu is expected back in Nigeria on Tuesday after a six-day foreign trip to France and London.
The President initially was scheduled for a one-legged trip to France to attend a two-day World leaders summit in Paris and to return on Saturday.
While in Paris, the trip was rescheduled.
The Presidency had on Saturday said the President headed for the UK from France, where he had been attending a summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
“Tinubu, who was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja on Saturday, will now proceed to London, United Kingdom, for a short private visit,” a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy, Dele Alake, read on Saturday.
However, the statement was silent on the particular day of Tinubu’s return, saying the “President will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.”
The President would return to his private Ikoyi home in Lagos later on Tuesday to observe his first Sallah celebration as President.
A presidency source told the Punch that “I am certain he will return to Lagos tomorrow (Tuesday), not Abuja. That’s where he will observe Sallah,” the source said.
