President Bola Tinubu is set to return to Nigeria this weekend after extending his working vacation, according to the presidential office. Tinubu left the country on August 30 for London to begin the vacation. His return follows a statement from presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, who confirmed the extension of the trip.
The president’s absence from the country has drawn criticism from political opponents, including former vice president Atiku Abubakar, who accused Tinubu of being absent for 21 days. Despite the criticism, Tinubu’s administration has maintained that the extended trip is necessary for official business.
During his time abroad, Tinubu has also engaged in diplomatic activities, including meetings with foreign leaders. His return is expected to coincide with key political events in the country. The administration has not provided further details on the nature of the extended trip.
Tinubu’s absence has sparked discussions about the role of the presidency in national governance. While some argue that the trip is essential for international engagement, others question the timing and necessity of the extended absence.
