President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived in Lagos State to spend the end-of-year holidays following official visits to Borno and Bauchi states. He was received at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, other government officials, and chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The president departed Abuja on a three-state tour, beginning with Borno State, where he inaugurated several projects executed by the state government under Governor Babagana Zulum in collaboration with the federal government. While in Maiduguri, President Tinubu also attended the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno State Governor and Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, and his bride, Hadiza Kam Salem.
From Borno, the president proceeded to Bauchi State, where he paid a condolence visit to the state government and the family of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, the late renowned Islamic cleric and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, who passed away on November 27.
Following the condolence visit, President Tinubu arrived in Lagos, where he is expected to participate in several activities during the holiday period. Among his scheduled engagements is attendance at the Eyo Festival on December 27, where he will serve as the guest of honour.
The festival, set to take place at the Tafawa Balewa Square, will celebrate notable personalities, including the President’s late mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, as well as late former Lagos State Governors Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Michael Otedola.
