President Bola Tinubu has departed Paris, France, for Nigeria after ending his working vacation in Europe.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President’s aircraft is expected to arrive at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, later in the evening.

The Presidency said Tinubu chose to return through Lagos to honour the memory of the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, whom it described as a martyr of Nigeria’s democratic struggle.

The President is expected to attend the premiere of a film honouring Abiola at the Wole Soyinka National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos, on October 1, Nigeria’s Independence Day.

While in Lagos, Tinubu will also hold strategic meetings with political leaders and associates as part of preparations for the 2027 elections.

The President is also expected to return to Abuja after his political engagements in Lagos.
