After performing the Umrah, also called the Lesser Hajj, in the holy city of Makkah, President Bola Tinubu left Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for Abuja.
At 5:13 p.m. Saudi time on Wednesday, Tinubu’s plane departed King Abdulaziz International Airport’s Royal Terminal.
Yakubu Gambo, Nigeria’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the deputy governor of the Makkah region, and Muazam Ibrahim Nayaya, the consul general, escorted the president to the airport.
Before leaving, Tinubu met briefly with the deputy governor of Makkah at the Royal Guest Palace, according to a statement released by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy.
On Sunday, he was also allowed to enter the hallowed building, where he and his delegation offered two raka’at prayers.
Tinubu prayed for Nigeria’s long-term peace, security, unity, and prosperity while inside the Ka’abah, asking for divine direction and the fortitude to keep leading the nation.
Additionally, he expressed hope that Nigeria’s diversity would serve as a source of shared prosperity and national cohesion while praying for ongoing blessings for the nation and its people.
The President thanked Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia for their hospitality to him and his delegation, especially the opportunity to visit the Holy Ka’abah.
May the blessings of his Umrah bring him joy, peace, and Allah’s mercy. We wish President Tinubu a safe journey home and warmly welcome him back to Abuja.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
