President Bola Tinubu is set to return to Nigeria from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after attending an extraordinary summit held by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the League of Arab States. The summit addressed the worsening situation in the Middle East, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
During his speech, President Tinubu called for an immediate end to what he described as "Israeli aggression" in Gaza, highlighting the prolonged suffering the conflict has caused. He emphasized the need for a humanitarian ceasefire, stressing that justice, dignity, and human life must be prioritized over political, military, or security interests. Tinubu’s appeal reflects Nigeria's stance on fostering a peaceful resolution to the crisis, with hopes of mitigating further suffering in Gaza.
