President Tinubu’s diaspora engagement in France marks a milestone in his presidential journey, demonstrating his dedication to fostering connections with Nigerians across the globe

President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been spotted with Real Madrid star, David Alaba during a visit France, Soccernet.ng reports.

The former governor of Lagos state held his first presidential diaspora engagement in Paris, France, in a significant development showcasing his international engagement.

The event was attended by a vibrant gathering of Nigerians residing in France, which also included Los Blancos defender.

The engagement provided a platform for meaningful discussions where attendees could share their experiences, concerns, and aspirations, as seen in the pictures.

Meanwhile, the Austrian international, widely regarded as one of the finest defenders in the world, was received by President Tinubu during the diaspora engagement.

Alaba’s presence added an extra dimension of excitement to the event, capturing football enthusiasts and political observers’ attention.

Pictures capturing the memorable moments of the occasion were shared on Twitter by Nigerian journalist KC, further amplifying the significance of the event.

The images show President Tinubu interacting with the Austrian, taking their photo, and even posing for a picture while grasping his Real Madrid jersey.

After losing the La Liga title to Barcelona and the UEFA Champions League crown to Manchester City, Carlo Ancelotti’s team did not have a regular season. However, with Alaba on board, they hope to rebound with a great campaign next year.
