Tinubu Returns to Abuja After Eid-El-Kabir Holiday in Lagos

President Bola Tinubu has returned to the nation's capital, Abuja, following his Eid-el-Kabir holiday observance in Lagos. The President's official plane, Nigeria Air Force 1, landed at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Tuesday evening.

During his stay in Lagos, President Tinubu was actively engaged in a series of significant political, governmental, and national events. He received Vice President Kashim Shettima and various groups, including the Senate leadership led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, for traditional Sallah homage. Additionally, delegations from the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, APC stakeholders from Oyo State, and APC candidates from Lagos State paid courtesy visits.

A notable event during the holiday period was President Tinubu's attendance at the International Fleet Review at Eko Atlantic City Waterfront, marking the 70th Anniversary of the Nigerian Navy. On this occasion, he inaugurated three new Nigerian Naval vessels: NNS Oloibiri, NNS Mambila, and NNS Gurara. The President also held a meeting with His Excellency Romuald Wadagni, President of the Republic of Benin, reinforcing bilateral ties. Before the holiday, Tinubu had also participated in APC primaries in Lagos and was endorsed by nearly 11 million voters for the 2027 presidential election.
