The All Progressives Congress National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has returned to Nigeria about 10 days after he travelled to the United Kingdom.
The former Lagos State governor and presidential hopeful landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport around 8pm on Sunday where he was received by some leaders of his 2023 campaign train.
Tinubu’s spokesman, Tunde Rahman, confirmed the development. “He (Tinubu) arrived at the Lagos airport just now,” Rahman said.
The Lagos Panorama had reported that the 69-year-old politician travelled overseas last week to hold some meetings and further consultations in line with his 2023 presidential ambition.
There were speculations that he had travelled again to London on health grounds but his spokesman debunked it, saying his principal was “vibrant”.
On January 10, 2022, Tinubu had visited President Muhammadu Buhari and announced to State House correspondents that he had informed the President of his intention to contest the presidential election in 2023.
Before his most recent UK trip, Tinubu had travelled to some parts of the country including Oyo, Niger, Kano and Zamfara states to widen consultations for his political ambition.
