Tinubu out of country to rest, plan his transition programme

President-elect, Bola Tinubu has travelled abroad to plan his transition programme ahead of May 29, 2023 inauguration.

The Office of President-elect in a statement issued Wednesday and signed by Tunde Rahman said the travelling became imperative to have the much needed rest after a very exhaustive campaign and election seasons.

Rahman revealed that the President-elect left the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, for Europe on Tuesday night.

He said: “The President-elect decided to take a break after the hectic campaign and election season to rest in Paris and London, preparatory to going to Saudi Arabia for Umrah (Lesser Hajj) and the Ramadan Fasting that begins Thursday.”

Rahman said while away, the President-elect would also use the opportunity to plan his transition programme, adding that he is expected back in the country soon.

He urged the media to stop publishing rumours and unsubstantiated claims and to always seek clarifications from the Office of the President-elect.
