The President’s trip was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

According to the statement, the visit will provide Tinubu with an opportunity for spiritual reflection and prayers for Nigeria’s peace, unity, stability and continued progress.
