President Bola Tinubu departed Abuja on Thursday, October 29, 2026, for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah, the lesser Hajj, according to the Presidency.
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said the trip would provide an opportunity for spiritual reflection and prayers for Nigeria’s peace, unity and stability. Before departing, Tinubu commissioned newly acquired operational equipment for the Nigerian Air Force at the Presidential Wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
The Presidency said He is expected to return next week. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar called for daily, date-stamped photos and videos of the president’s activities at the Kaaba, while presidential aides clarified that the trip was for Umrah and not medical treatment.
