Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, was among several dignitaries on the delegation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Saudi Arabia.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu departed Abuja on Thursday for Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to perform the Umrah pilgrimage. While in the holy lands, a prayer session is expected to be conducted for Nigeria’s peace, unity, and stability.
According to a press release issued Wednesday by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the President will perform the Umrah rites in Mecca and seek Allah’s guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its people. The statement noted that the trip gives the President an opportunity for spiritual reflection and devotion.
The delegation has other Governors, ministers and some close presidential aides.
The President is expected to return to Nigeria next week after completing the pilgrimage.
