President Bola Tinubu has departed Saudi Arabia for Nigeria after performing Umrah, also known as the lesser Hajj, and visiting the Kaaba in the holy city of Makkah.
The President’s departure was disclosed on Wednesday by his Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun.
During his stay in Saudi Arabia, Tinubu visited the Kaaba, regarded as the sacred house of God within the Grand Mosque in Makkah, where he also offered prayers for Nigeria.
The President is expected to visit Akwa Ibom State on Friday, November 6, for a one-day working visit.
During the visit, he is scheduled to commission several projects executed by the administration of Governor Umo Eno, including the Arise Palm Resort.
Tinubu will subsequently travel to Rivers State on Saturday, November 7, to attend the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally.
The President’s engagements in the two states form part of his scheduled activities following his religious visit to Saudi Arabia.
