No official explanation was given for the decision to return earlier than planned.
The president’s return coincides with the expiry of the six-month emergency rule in Rivers State, Nigeria’s oil-rich region, which lapses on Thursday.
Since January 2025, the 73-year-old leader has embarked on 15 foreign trips, frequently combining official engagements with periods of rest.
