In a notable development, President Bola Tinubu departed from Lagos to Abuja on Sunday, marking the end of his Sallah holidays. The departure took place at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by his side, as they witnessed a striking Nigeria Army parade.
During his stay in Lagos, which spanned five days, President Tinubu paid respectful visits to the paramount rulers of Ijebu, Egba, and Eko.
