President-elect Bola Tinubu has embarked on a trip to Paris and London, according to a statement released by Tunde Rahman for the Office of the President-elect.
The purpose of the trip is to enable Tinubu to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of his inauguration on May 29.
Rahman further stated that Tinubu will also be travelling to Saudi Arabia to partake in the Lesser Hajj and Ramadan fasting period.
The President-elect left the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, for Europe on Tuesday night.
“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.
While away, the President-elect will also use the opportunity to plan his transition programme,” the statement read in part.
The Office of the President-elect urged the media to stop publishing rumours and unsubstantiated claims and to always seek clarifications from their office.
Tinubu is expected to return to the country soon.
