JUST IN: Tinubu jets out to rest, attend lesser hajj

The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has left the country.

This development was made known by his Media Office in a statement issued on Tuesday signed by Alhaji Tunde Rahman.

The statement said the former two-term Lagos State Governor needed the rest after a very exhaustive campaign and election season.

“The President-elect left the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja for Europe on Tuesday night.

“While away, the President-elect will also use the opportunity to plan his transition programme.

“He has directed all the senior aides and campaign staff to also go and observe a short rest.

“He is expected back in the country soon.

“We enjoin the media to stop publishing rumours and unsubstantiated claims and to always seek clarifications from our office.”
