The president was received on arrival at the Presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 9.50 p.m. by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and other senior government officials.

President Tinubu had departed Nigeria on 12 April for Paris, France, where he held a high-level meeting with Massad Boulos, the U.S. Department of State’s Senior Advisor for Africa.

The discussion focused on deepening bilateral cooperation to enhance regional security and sustainable economic development across Africa.

Following the development, some Nigerians, including the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election,, Peter Obi, asked him to return home.
