Barring any last-minute changes, Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu is expected to return to the country on Monday, April 24, after his vacation in France.
Tinubu left for France on March 21 after the governorship election.
It was said that Jagaban went to rest after participating in a rigorous nationwide electioneering campaign, town hall meetings and general elections.
The news of his departure was greeted with heavy criticism, with different versions of stories emerging about his trip, especially as Tinubu left the country without any public notice.
Some persons say he was sneaked out of the country for medical treatment after falling ill, others say the hospitals in the country failed him hence he was rushed abroad.
Tinubu’s Return
The former Lagos State governor and his wife, Senator Oluremi, will return to a rousing reception by party faithful at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Though no formal reception is planned for his return, The Nation reports that Tinubu would be received at the airport by his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, governors and top officials of the ruling party.
Various APC support groups are also mobilising to storm the airport to welcome the president-elect back.
APC supporters are also expected to lead the President-elect in a motorcade from the airport to the Defence House, where he will stay until the May 29 inauguration.
The media aide to the President-elect, Tunde Rahman, confirmed the return in a telephone chat.
“Yes, Asiwaju is returning tomorrow (Monday).”
The Big Party
He, however, declined to give details about his arrival.
