155

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday evening returned to Abuja from Saudi Arabia.

His plane touched down around 6:30 pm at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Top government officials were on ground to receive him at the airport.

The President had left Nigeria last Thursday to Saudi Arabia to perform the Muslim Umrah.

The visit was also to honour the invitation from King Salman Bin Abdulaziz, the ruler of Saudi Arabia and Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to perform the Umrah.

He was accompanied by his close personal aides to the Umrah.

The President is expected to preside over the valedictory session of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday.

The session is the last meeting the President will be having with members of the outgoing cabinet as his second term is scheduled to be inaugurated on the 29th of May 2019.

While some members of the outgoing cabinet may be reappointed, others will give way for fresh hands in the next dispensation.
