President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ended his working vacation and departed Paris, France, for Nigeria, according to a statement issued on Tuesday by Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga. The statement said the President's aircraft was expected to touch down at Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, later that evening. Tinubu chose to fly to Lagos first to honour the memory of Chief MKO Abiola, the winner of the June 1993 election, and will attend the premiere of a movie honouring Abiola at the Wole Soyinka National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos, on Independence Day. While in Lagos, the President will also hold strategic meetings with political leaders and associates over several days in preparation for the 2027 elections. Tinubu departed Abuja on August 30 for the working vacation, spending one week in London before heading to Paris.
