President Tinubu Travels to Makkah for Umrah Pilgrimage
President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on October 28 for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah and seek Allah's guidance and blessings for Nigeria. The announcement was made by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The visit aims to provide an opportunity for spiritual reflection and prayers for Nigeria's peace, unity, stability, and progress. While in Makkah, Tinubu will perform the religious rites associated with Umrah, which can be undertaken at any time of the year, unlike Hajj.
Prior to his departure, he will commission equipment acquired by the Nigerian Air Force for its operations at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria the following week after completing the pilgrimage.
