President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja following his participation in a high-level Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

President Tinubu arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 8:00 pm local time and was welcomed by senior government officials.

During the extraordinary summit, Tinubu called for an immediate end to Israeli military actions in Gaza, describing the conflict as one that has “persisted for far too long, inflicting immeasurable suffering.”

Expressing Nigeria’s deep concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Tinubu reaffirmed the nation’s support for a two-state solution that would allow Israelis and Palestinians to live in “security and dignity.”

He commended Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for organizing the summit, calling it a critical step towards renewed diplomatic efforts for lasting peace in the region.

The President emphasized that Nigeria, with its own experiences in fostering stability, would continue to back international peace initiatives in the Middle East.
