President Bola Tinubu has reportedly postponed his return to Nigeria.
TheCable reports that the president’s travel plans changed at the last minute.
The reason for the last-minute change was not known.
Sources in the presidency had disclosed that the president would return to Nigeria on Sunday after spending weeks in Europe on a working vacation.
He was expected to arrive in Lagos, where he would remain for up to a week before proceeding to Abuja, the nation’s capital.
However, the itinerary has been revised, with the president’s return now likely on Tuesday.
Tinubu left Nigeria on August 30 for London, where he began what the presidency described as a three-week working vacation as part of his annual leave.
After spending about a week in the United Kingdom, he travelled to Paris, France.
While in Paris, Tinubu held meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Vincent Bolloré.
On September 21, the presidency announced that Tinubu had extended his stay abroad by a few days and would return to Nigeria at the weekend.
The presidency said Tinubu had remained in touch with officials at home and continued to direct government affairs while away.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima had been representing the president at certain official functions during the president’s absence.
