President Bola Tinubu is set to head to Paris, France, from London, United Kingdom, for another ‘significant engagement’.
This was disclosed by Tinubu’s close political ally and former running mate placeholder, Ibrahim Kabir Masari, on Friday evening.
President Tinubu had travelled to London on October 2, 2024, for a two-week vacation.
A statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the “working vacation” was part of his yearly leave.
The president was scheduled to return to Nigeria after the expiry of the leave.
The statement had read: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today for the United Kingdom to begin a two-week vacation, part of his yearly leave.
“He will use the two weeks as a working vacation and a retreat to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms. He will return to the country after the leave expires.”
It is the first time President Tinubu would go on leave since he assumed office in May 2023.
The 1999 Constitution (as amended) requires the president to write the National Assembly, informing it of his plan to proceed on vacation.
It is unclear if President Tinubu did so or not as of press time.
However, after nine days in London, President is set to travel to Paris for an unspecified engagement.
Taking to his Facebook page on Friday, Masari, who visited Tinubu at his private residence in London on Friday, disclosed that he would be travelling alongside the President to France.
