JUST IN: Tinubu returns to Abuja from New York, Paris

President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Abuja from New York, USA, where he attended the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, and then Paris, France, where, sources say, he had been observing a short break.

News Direct spotted Tinubu’s convoy arriving at his official residence in the Aso Rock Villa at 09:47 pm local time.

He arrives barely 48 hours to Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Day anniversary and four days to the planned nationwide strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria.

Tinubu is expected to address the nation in a televised broadcast at 7:00am on Sunday.
