Tinubu Leaves Nigeria Again Two Weeks After Returning From Vacation In Europe

President-elect, Bola Tinubu, is leaving the country again two weeks after he returned to the country from his vacation in Europe.

This was announced on Wednesday through a statement issued from the Office of the President-elect signed by Tunde Rahman.

The statement said Tinubu will leave for Europe on a working visit.

Recall Tinubu returned to the country two weeks ago. There were speculations that the trip was undertaken for medical reasons.

But his office denied he was sick in France, saying he was hale and hearty in a comment made available to THE WHISTLER.

But the latest visit according to the office of the president-elect is to finetune preparation for his inauguration, meet key investors and prepare the country for serious business.

The statement read, “He will use the opportunity of the trip to finetune the transition plans and programmes, and his policy options with some of his key aides without unnecessary pressures and distractions.

“During the visit, the President-elect will engage with investors and other key allies with the goal of marketing investment opportunities in the country and his administration’s readiness to enable a business-friendly climate through policies and regulations”, he stated.

The office further noted, “Asíwájú Tinubu hopes to convince them of Nigeria’s readiness to do business under his leadership through mutually-beneficial partnerships premised on jobs creation and skills acquisition.

“Reviving the country’s economy forms a major plank of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and the meeting is part of his efforts to re-establish Nigeria’s importance in the global economic chain and create empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population.

“The President-elect has hitherto promised to hit the ground running and the visit is reflective of his commitment to the promise as he has already begun talks with global actors in the important areas of the economy and security.

“Before he left the country, Asíwájú Tinubu met with the House of Representatives candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker endorsed by his party, the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu, who were presented to him by the Joint Task Team of the House.

“He is scheduled to return shortly for preparations towards his official swearing in as the 16th President of the country on May 29, 2023”, Rahman added.
