The 47-year-old who is dating Nigerian/British rapper, Skepta, is in the country for the Arise Fashion Week holding at the Lagos Continental Hotel from March 30 to April 2.
She, however, said in a tweet that she was invited to join the private launch of Eko Atlantic.
“Was a pleasure to be invited by His Excellency The President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari to the private launch of Eko Atlantic,” the model wrote in a tweet which she later deleted.
Joining her and President Buhari on Friday’s tour were Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos, former Governor Bola Tinubu, Deputy Governor Idiat Adebule and others.
News of Ms Campbell’s presence in Nigeria spread like a virus on social media and some of the reactions on Twitter are captured below.

I thought PMB doesn’t shake women? Or is it because it’s Naomi Campbell? pic.twitter.com/aZrXgxIihj

Why are Nigerians so salty?
Naomi Campbell is here for Arise Fashion Week. You don’t know why she’s here, you won’t research and you’re saying she’s here to meet sugar daddy.
What’s the matter with you?

People need to stop the character attacks on Naomi Campbell, she is a supermodel and has been one for decades, if men shower her with all sorts of gifts, it comes with the terrain.
