President Tinubu is set to depart Riyadh on Tuesday, following his participation in a one-day extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit aimed at addressing the ongoing situation in the Middle East.
His flight is scheduled to take off at 3:40 PM local time.
During the summit, Tinubu called for an end to Israeli aggression in Gaza, stressing that “the conflict in Palestine has endured for far too long, causing immense suffering.”
Addressing the extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit convened to address the current situation in the Middle East, Tinubu expressed deep concern for the humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
He said that the one-day summit was a follow-up to the Riyadh summit last year and was attended by Heads of State and Government of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the League of Arab States.
Reaffirming Nigeria’s call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Tinubu expressed the country’s support for a two-state solution, allowing Israelis and Palestinians to coexist with security and dignity.
He emphasized that this approach remains a viable path toward enduring peace in the region.
”The conflict in Palestine has persisted for far too long, inflicting immeasurable suffering on countless lives.
”As representatives of nations that value justice, dignity, and the sanctity of human life, we have a moral obligation to collectively bring about an immediate end to this conflict.
”It is not enough to issue empty condemnations. The world must work towards an end to Israeli aggression in Gaza, which has persisted for far too long.
“No political aim, no military strategy, and no security concern should come at the expense of so many innocent lives,” he said.
