Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom (UK).
Tinubu, who left the country on September 24, returned on Thursday.
The last time he was seen attending a public event physically was on September 22, when he met with members of the Pentecostal bishops’ forum in Abuja.
During his time away, there had been concerns over his whereabouts, especially after he missed the signing of the peace accord for the 2023 elections.
However, Kashim Shettima, running mate to Tinubu, represented him at the signing of the peace accord, which took place at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja.
Pictures later surfaced on social media showing Tinubu holding a meeting in the UK.
Over the past few months, the former governor of Lagos state has visited France and the UK.

TheCable had reported that Tinubu was due to arrive in the country Thursday ahead of a “crucial meeting” in Abuja on Friday.
“He is returning before the weekend,” an insider had told TheCable.
“He has been resting and busy as well, holding crucial meetings, receiving strategic briefings and reading up materials and finalising work on the manifesto. He’s been very engaged.”
