President Bola Tinubu has left the United Kingdom for Paris, France, where he is scheduled to attend an important engagement. His departure was confirmed by Ibrahim Kabir Masari, Special Assistant to the President on Political and other matters, through a post on his verified X handle, @KabirIbrah64.
In his statement, Masari mentioned that he had the privilege of visiting President Tinubu at his private residence in the UK for productive discussions before they headed to Paris.
