President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, returned to Abuja after attending the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Tinubu touched down at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Aiport, Abuja, around 8pm on Tuesday.
The president was received by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, ministers, and security heads, among others.
The summit, which was hosted by King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, on Monday, focused on current issues in the Middle East.
During his attendance at the summit, Tinubu addressed the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict, highlighting Nigeria’s call for an immediate ceasefire and a peaceful resolution.
The president also advocated for reviving the two-state solution to achieve lasting peace in the region and expressed deep concern over the humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
Explaining Nigeria’s principled and consistent stance on the two-state solution, Tinubu noted that it stands as a beacon of hope, representing the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians to self-determination and peace.
Tinubu also warned that “empty condemnations” are not enough to end the conflict in Palestine, which, he said, “has persisted for far too long.”
