In a statement issued on Saturday, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said Tinubu would “observe the moment in prayers for Nigeria and with family in deference to the solemn occasion, which marks the end of Ramadan”.
“In deference to the solemn occasion, which marks the end of Ramadan, the President will observe the moment in prayers for Nigeria and with family,” Ngelale said.
Ngelale who did not specify the date of Tinubu’s return said the Nigerian leader will “continue official duties during and after the Eid-el-Fitr holidays.”
