The president-elect left the nation on Tuesday, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Mr. Tinubu's spokesperson, Tunde Rahman.

The president-elect, according to Mr. Rahman, will subsequently perform the Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

Mr. Tinubu is anticipated to return to the nation "soon," he continued.

The incoming president's numerous trips abroad continue to feed health-related rumors.

Before the 2022 elections, he took several unannounced trips to the UK and France.
