Tinubu heads to Paris for key engagement

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has departed the United Kingdom for Paris (France), where he is expected to attend an important engagement.

This development was confirmed on Friday by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Political and other matters, Ibrahim Kabir Masari, via his verified X handle, @KabirIbrah64.

Masari said he had the honour of visiting President Tinubu at his private residence in the UK, where they both engaged in productive discussions before the president departed for Paris.

“Today, I had the honour of visiting President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR at his private residence in the United Kingdom, where we engaged in productive discussions. We then departed for Paris, France, for another important engagement,” Masari said.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga corroborated the trip, when The Guardian contacted him to confirm the veracity of the trending tweet.

“Don’t forget that the President is on leave, he can spend his leave anywhere he chooses,” Onanuga said.

Although details of the engagement were not disclosed, the President’s trip is believed to be part of his elaborate plan to see the country make the most of various engagements.

Recall that President Tinubu departed Nigeria on Wednesday, October 2, for a two-week working vacation in the UK, as part of his annual leave.
