‎President Bola Tinubu returned to Abuja on Tuesday evening after cutting short what was initially scheduled as a 10-day leave to Paris and London.

‎The Airbus A330 conveying the President touched down at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 06:50pm local time.

‎Tinubu, who departed Nigeria on September 4, had been expected to remain in Europe until later this week.

‎No official reason was given for the decision to curtail the trip.

‎The President’s return comes as the six-month emergency rule in the oil-rich Rivers State elapses this Thursday.

‎Tinubu, 73, has made 15 foreign trips since January 2025, often combining official meetings with periods of rest.

‎His last know holiday trip was in April when he spent about 14 working days in Paris and London.
