According to thecable.ng:
On Thursday evening, Tinubu arrived in Lagos from Abuja via presidential jet at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, for the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
On Tuesday, the governors were seen in a video led by their chairman, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq boarding a bus to the president’s residence.
They converged on Lagos House at Marina from where they headed to the president’s residence.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff (CoS) to the president, were also present during the visit.
He added, “it’s a huge burden on the states finances;the cost of chattered flights and other expenses.”
According to Senator Sani: “After this festivities,the President should discourage State Governors from leaving their states to ‘pay him homage’.First,it’s a huge burden on the states finances;the cost of chattered flights and other expenses.
Secondly, there appears to be a pattern of escalation of security threats during the holiday seasons.Lets be serious about this slogan of cutting the cost of Governance.”
