President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday, March 17, arrived in the United Kingdom for a historic two-day state visit.
The President was accompanied by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. They landed at London Stansted Airport at exactly 3:18 p.m. local time.
On arrival, President Tinubu was received on behalf of the British Royal Family by the Deputy Lieutenant of Essex, Mark Bevan.
He was also welcomed by Nigeria’s Acting High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Mohammed Maidugu, alongside other senior government officials.
A delegation of Nigerian political leaders, including senators, governors and ministers, was also on hand to receive the President at his hotel. This, however, sparked reactions from Nigerians, with many questioning why public officials had to travel to the UK to welcome him.
