2023 presidency: Tinubu returns to Nigeria from the UK

National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has returned to Nigeria after spending over a week in the UK.

The former Lagos governor arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Sunday.

Tinubu jetted out of the country in January after weeks of consultations across the country over his 2023 presidential ambition.

He was rumoured to have visited the European country to rest and undergo medical checkup, while a source in his camp said he went to visit his family in the UK.

But Tinubu’s media aide,Tunde Rahman, said his principal went to the UK for “meetings and consultations”.

While in London, he had meetings with the UK chapter of the APC.

In January, Tinubu visited President Muhammadu Buhari during which he announced his intention to contest the presidency in 2023.
