‘Well-Rested, Ready To Go’
Tinubu was received by top government officials.
Gbajabiamila said now that his principal is back, Tinubu’s government will focus on fine-tuning its policies.
“The kind of work he’s been doing in the last year and a half requires some rest and he’s gone on his back now and he’s well arrested, rejuvenated,” the former lawmaker said.
“Again, it was even just a working holiday anyway. So, he was working and resting at the same time. Now that he’s back in Nigeria, all hands are back on deck and he’s ready to go.”
