President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after completing his Umrah pilgrimage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The President arrived in Abuja on Wednesday night, November 4, 2026, following a week-long spiritual visit to Saudi Arabia.
According to reports, his aircraft landed at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at exactly 8:53 p.m.
He was welcomed by Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, the Minister of State for Defence, the Inspector-General of Police and other senior government officials.
During his visit, Tinubu performed the Umrah rites at the Grand Mosque in Makkah.
One of the notable moments of the pilgrimage was the rare privilege granted to the Nigerian President and members of his delegation to enter the interior of the Holy Ka’abah on Sunday, where they offered prayers.
The President reportedly prayed for Nigeria’s peace, security, unity and prosperity, while also seeking divine wisdom and strength to continue serving the country.
