Fact check: Old footage is being shared as Tinubu returning from annual leave

The president did return on 29 September, but the viral video shows an earlier arrival, FactCheckHub found.

Claim

A viral video shows President Bola Tinubu returning to Nigeria after his annual leave.

Finding (according to The FactCheckHub)

Misleading: real return, wrong video

The FactCheckHub confirmed that Mr Tinubu did return to Nigeria on 29 September. The video circulating, which had passed 65,000 views, is not of that return.

A reverse-image search of its keyframes showed the footage has been online since earlier this year. It shows his arrival in Abuja in January 2026, after an official visit to Türkiye.
