President Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will tomorrow, Thursday, October 29, 2026 depart Abuja for Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah, an Islamic spiritual exercise involving a pilgrimage to the Holy City.
“The visit gives the President an opportunity for spiritual reflection, devotion, and prayers for Nigeria’s peace, unity, stability, and continued progress.
“While in Makkah, President Tinubu will perform the religious rites associated with Umrah, seeking Allah’s guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its people,” Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), said this evening in a statement.
He said that, “Before leaving Abuja, President Tinubu will commission at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport some equipment acquired by the Nigerian Air Force for its operations.”
“The President is expected back in the country next week, after completing the spiritual exercise,” Onanuga said.
