Report emanating from the camp of the President-Elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, indicates that he may return to the country today, Monday to take charge of proceedings and give directions for the zoning of the leadership of Chambers of the National Assembly.
This is even as the National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress is set to meet with the President-Elect to take a position to avert a repeat of the 2015 situation that produced Senator Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker, respectively.
Tinubu had on March 21st travelled out of the country and according to the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, he was on a working rest.
James Faleke, the Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, and a member of the House of Representatives noted in a tweet on Sunday that Tinubu, alongside his wife, Senator Remi Tinubu, would land by 2pm at the Presidential wing of the International Airport.
"My dear brothers and sisters of this unique family, I wish to inform and request of us all that anyone in Abuja and Nasarawa is invited to join in receiving our people's President-elect and First Lady tomorrow by 2pm at the Presidential wing of the international airport.
"Department Time: 2pm; departure venue: The Campaign Office; Accreditation time: 12pm. Buses will be provided. Only Accredited persons will be allowed at the airport for security reasons," Faleke tweeted.
Another party chieftain of the APC Presidential Campaign Council confirmed Tinubu's arrival and that he'll also be meeting with the party soon to discuss the leadership of the National Assembly as the NWC meeting will also take place this week after the holiday.
Earlier on Sunday, the APC had announced the dissolution of its Presidential Campaign Council, which was inaugurated in October to campaign for Tinubu's victory.
This dissolution was contained in a statement that was jointly signed by the PCC Director General, Governor Simon Lalong, and the Secretary of the Council, Faleke.
While applauding the President, Muhammadu Buhari for his unfailing support for the President-Elect throughout the Election, Lalong noted that it was necessary to dissolve the council with immediate effect, to the best interest of the campaign and its stakeholders.
