President Bola Tinubu has postponed his return to Nigeria following a last-minute change in his travel plans.
Tinubu was expected to return to the country this weekend after spending several weeks in Europe on a working vacation.
However, sources in the presidency told TheCable that the president’s return has now been delayed.
The reason for the sudden change in his travel plans was not immediately known as of Sunday morning.
The president had earlier been expected to return to Nigeria on Sunday, according to sources familiar with his schedule.
Tinubu left Nigeria several weeks ago and has since been in Europe as part of his working vacation. During the period, the president has continued to carry out official duties and hold engagements despite being away from the country.
The latest change means the president will remain outside Nigeria for longer than earlier planned.
There was no immediate information on the new date for Tinubu’s return to the country.
The presidency had also not provided details on the reason for the adjustment to the president’s travel schedule as of the time of filing this report.
More details are expected from the presidency on the president’s new return schedule and his next official engagements.
