Tinubu Heads For Europe 18 Days To Inauguration

President-elect Bola Tinubu has departed Nigeria for Europe, Tunde Rahman, Tinubu’s media aide, has revealed.

In a statement on Wednesday, Rahman said the incoming president left Abuja on Wednesday afternoon with some of his key aides.

“The trip will reduce unnecessary pressures and distractions on the President-Elect ahead of the May 29 inauguration.”

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

Tinubu returned to the country barely two weeks ago after spending over a month overseas.
