President Tinubu Set to Return to Nigeria After a Long Stay in France
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to return to Nigeria on Monday, April 21, 2025. This is following his trip to France, which began on April 2. A brief statement on X by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga confirmed the news. The announcement stated, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will return home today.”
Earlier, the presidency clarified that Tinubu has been working remotely from Europe, addressing rumors about his absence from Aso Rock.
This news comes despite criticism from 2025 presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar. Atiku questioned Tinubu’s absence in light of recent killings in Plateau and Benue States. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, also expressed concerns, stating that violence had surged since the president’s departure.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
Residents of Lagos should prepare for traffic disruptions as several roads will be closed due to the visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is set to commission infrastructural projects.
The commissioning will take place on April 8 and 9, 2026.
Affected areas on Wednesday (April 8):
Opebi, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Ojota, and Victoria Island.
Affected areas on Thursday (April 9):
Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Ajegunle.
Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes and expect heavy traffic during these periods.

It can be noted that he even did a countdown on Saturday “48 hours before all Hell will rain down on them,” he warned Saturday. “Time is running out.”
