Giving an insight into his preoccupation during the 34-day vacation, he said he had been consulting on how to put together a strong team for the smooth take-off of his administration.
Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima led the reception party, which included his wife Nana, and House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.
