PRESSIDENT Bola Tinubu arrived in Lagos in the early hours of Friday following a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom.
According to his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President and his wife, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, touched down at about 1:15 a.m. at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
They were received on arrival by top government officials and party members, including Lagos State Deputy Governor Femi Hamzat and Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila, alongside other All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwarts.
The President will join Muslim faithful later to mark Eid al-Fitr, with prayers at Dodan Barracks.
In his Sallah message, President Tinubu urged Nigerian Muslims to uphold the values of Ramadan, emphasising piety, empathy and unity.
“We have a lot to draw from the noble lessons of Ramadan, especially at a time like this. We must continue to abide by the virtues of piety, selflessness, perseverance, kindness and compassion beyond this period,” he said.
