President Bola Tinubu has departed Lagos for Pretoria to attend the inauguration of the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, aboard two private aircraft while avoiding the faulty presidential aircraft.
BEYOND AFRICA learnt that Tinubu was escorted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, the Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, and other government officials.
The medium gathered that the President left with members of his team in two private jets.
“They went in two private jets. Of course, you are aware that the presidential jets are no longer in good shape,” a source said.
Tinubu reportedly left the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, on a Dassault Falcon 8X aircraft around 11:06 am.
According to the presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the President would attend the inauguration of Ramaphosa following his re-election as President for a second term.
