The president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday returned to Nigeria amidst jubilation and a rosy welcome.
When he left the country almost a month ago, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential media team had issued a statement stating that he was heading to Paris to take a rest before proceeding to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj.
However, rumours spread widely with speculations about Tinubu’s health condition as he was said to be receiving medical attention at undisclosed health facility abroad.
Dispelling the rumours upon his return yesterday, the President-elect declared to the jubilant crowd that he was strong, hale, hearty and ready to serve the country.
Tinubu emphasized to party supporters that having rested well and refreshed, he was prepared for the task ahead.
The president-elect arrived at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in a private jet accompanied by his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and son, Seyi.
On ground to receive the president-elect was a mammoth crowd of enthusiastic associates and supporters who thronged the presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, where his plane touched down.
Among those at the airport to receive him were Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima, House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila as well as Governors Simon Lalong (Plateau) and Abubakar Sani-Bello (Niger), former Borno State Governor Ali Modu Sheriff.
