Onanuga wrote on his verified X page:

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, along with his aides, will return to Nigeria tomorrow from Europe.”

Tuesday, May 7, made it exactly eight days after Tinubu attended the World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, he is yet to return to Nigeria since then.

The two-day forum, which aimed to help public and private sector leaders address shared global challenges, opened on Sunday, April 28, and ended on Monday, April 29, 2024.

The presidency did not release any statement on what is holding the president from returning to Nigeria. And this led to speculations in some quarters that the president may have proceeded to Paris, France, where he had travelled to several times for medicals.

Tinubu’s lieutenant, Kashim Shettima, was scheduled to fly to the United States to represent his boss, but he abruptly cancelled the trip, blaming it on a faulty aircraft.
