After a very exhaustive campaign and election season, the President-elect, Asíwájú Bola Tinubu, has travelled abroad to rest and plan his transition programme ahead of May 29 inauguration.

This was disclosed in a statement made available on Wednesday by the spokesman to the Office of the President-elect, Mr Tunde Rahman.
The spokesman also explained that Tinubu left the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja for Europe on Tuesday night.

According to Rahman, Tinubu decided to take a break after the hectic campaign and election season to rest in Paris and London, preparatory to going to Saudi Arabia for Umrah (Lesser Hajj) and the Ramadan Fasting that begins Thursday.

The statement reads in part, “While away, the President-elect will also use the opportunity to plan his transition programme.
“He is expected back in the country soon.”
“We urge the media to stop publishing rumours and unsubstantiated claims and to always seek clarifications from our office.”
