President-elect Tinubu travels out to rest – Aide

President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has travelled abroad to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of May 29, 2023 inauguration.

His spokesman, Tunde Rahman, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

He also urged the media to stop publishing unsubstantiated claims about Tinubu.

There were reports that Tinubu travelled abroad for a medical check-up.

But Rahman in a statement said Tinubu decided to take a break after the hectic campaign and the election to rest.

The statement read in part, “After a very exhaustive campaign and election season, President-elect, Asíwájú Bola Tinubu, has travelled abroad to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of May 29, 2023 inauguration.

“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,” he said.

He noted that while away, Tinubu will use the opportunity to plan his transition programme.
