Stirring a wave of online discussions, images capturing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu performing the Tawaf, an integral aspect of the Umrah rite, at the Kaabah in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, have surfaced on various platforms.
Tinubu arrived in Jeddah on Sunday for an onward journey to Makkah to perform lesser pilgrimage.
Special adviser on information and strategy to the president, Bayo Onanuga, shared photos of Tinubu in Mecca and wrote: “President Bola Tinubu performing Tawaf or walking around, as part of Umrah rites on Sunday at Kaabah, Mecca in Saudi Arabia.”
Recall that Tinubu had arrived in Saudi Arabia on Thursday to participate in the Saudi-Africa Summit.
Tinubu, during the Summit, underscored Nigeria’s commitment to attracting more Foreign Direct Investment and expanding business partnerships, strongly reinforced by his administration’s ongoing domestic economic reforms.
Also, discussions at the first Saudi-Africa Summit revolved around supporting joint actions, enhancing political coordination, addressing regional security threats, and facilitating economic transformation through research and the local development of new energy solutions, all while bolstering cross-sectoral investment cooperation.
Due to the bilateral meeting, the Saudi Arabian government had pledged to help repair two refineries in the country and carry out some other investments.
