President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, departed the shores of Nigeria for France as he commences his annual leave.

As earlier reported by Naija News, President Tinubu is embarking on a working vacation in Europe.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the development in a statement via 𝕏 on Thursday.
Onanuga said Tinubu will depart Abuja for Europe on Thursday for his 2025 annual leave, which will last for ten working days.
The statement reads, “PRESIDENT TINUBU DEPARTS ABUJA TO BEGIN 2025 ANNUAL LEAVE
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today, September 4, to commence a working vacation in Europe, as part of his 2025 annual leave.
“The vacation will last 10 working days.
“President Tinubu will spend the period between France and the UK and then return to the country.”
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Abdulmumin Jibrin, has refused to rule out the possibility that former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, may still join the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Wednesday during a Channels Television interview, Jibrin stated that Kwankwaso has always maintained that his doors are always open to political discussions.
Naija News reports that the Kano lawmaker maintained that while he is not privy to the political plans of the former Governor, the possibility of the former NNPP presidential candidate teaming up with President Bola Tinubu in the APC is very much open based on earlier statements.
