President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Abuja after observing the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations in Lagos.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, disclosed the development in a statement issued on Wednesday.
Onanuga said Tinubu departed Lagos for Abuja after marking the Eid-el-Fitr celebration following his recent state visit to the United Kingdom.
“President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday departed Lagos for Abuja after marking the Eid-el-Fitri, following his historic state visit to the United Kingdom,” he said.
The presidential spokesman said the president’s aircraft departed from the presidential wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos at about 6:44pm.
“His plane left the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport at 6.44 pm,” Onanuga said.
Tinubu had earlier returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom in the early hours of Friday after a state visit.
The president also participated in the Eid-el-Fitr prayers held at Dodan Barracks in Lagos and held several engagements with political and business leaders.
He also received a delegation from the European Union and held talks with members of the Lagos state governance advisory council.
Onanuga said Vice President Kashim Shettima also visited Lagos to brief the president on his recent trip to Borno state following a suicide bombing incident.
