Glamtush reports that President-elect, Bola Tinubu is expected back in the country today.
This digital platform understands that Tinubu’s return to Nigeria has been confirmed by his Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga on Monday.
Onanuga disclosed that the President-elect has been on vacation in France. He disclosed this via a tweet.
He wrote, “Nigeria’s President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu returns to Abuja today after weeks of a well deserved vacation in France. E kaabo! Se dada le de!”
Tinubu’s absence from Nigeria’s political scene has been a subject of controversy.
Tinubu had on March 21 travelled out of the country to spend some time in Paris and London.
Reports alleged that Tinubu took ill after months of uninterrupted political campaigns across the nation.
But, Tinubu’s media team dismissed the narrative. According to a statement by Tunde Rahman for the Office of the President-elect, the trip was to enable Tinubu to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of his inauguration on May 29.
Also, the Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and a member of the House of Representatives, James Faleke, in a tweet on Sunday, noted that Tinubu alongside his wife, Senator Remi Tinubu, would land “by 2pm at the presidential wing of the International Airport.”
“My dear brothers and sisters of this unique family, I wish to inform and request of us all that anyone in Abuja and Nasarawa is invited to join in receiving our people’s President-elect and First Lady tomorrow by 2pm at the Presidential wing of the International Airport.
“Departure Time:2pm; departure venue: The Campaign Office; Accreditation time: 12pm. Buses will be provided. Only Accredited persons will be allowed at the airport for security reasons,” Faleke’s tweet read.
Also, another party chieftain and a high-ranking member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, who craved anonymity, disclosed that Tinubu’s private jet will be hitting the tarmac of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday (today).
He said, “The report is correct. Asiwaju will be arriving tomorrow (Monday) preparation for the May 29 inauguration. He will also be meeting with the party soon to discuss the leadership of the National Assembly.”
The APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, also confirmed that the NWC meeting may take place this week.
He, however, couldn’t confirm whether the President-elect would be in attendance.
He stated, “We are expecting the President-elect to arrive hopefully from tomorrow (Monday). I may not be sure of the exact date, but I think the NWC meeting will also take place this week after everybody must have resumed from the holiday break and their trip from Umrah.”
Earlier on Sunday, the APC announced the dissolution of its Presidential Campaign Council, which was inaugurated in October to campaign for Tinubu’s victory.
The dissolution was contained in a statement that was jointly signed by the PCC Director General, Governor Simon Lalong, and the secretary of the council, Faleke.
