His private jet landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at about 2.15pm where he was welcomed by his supporters, party members and some governors.
Senator Kashim Shettima; Governor Abdullahi Ganduje; Senate, Ahmad Lawan and the ruling party’s anointed candidate for the position of Senate president in the 10th Assembly, Senator Godswill Akpabio were at the Airport to welcome the president-elect.
Adorned in a blue ‘Babariga’ and his trademark cap to match, Tinubu was accompanied by his wife, Senator Oluremi, who was also robed in a matching blue attire.
Tinubu departed Nigeria to avoid unnecessary pressures and distractions while he continues to finetune his transition programmes and policy options with some of his key aides.
A statement signed by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, disclosed that the President-elect would also spend his stay engaging with investors and other key allies with the goal of marketing investment opportunities in the country.
