FCT, Abuja – The presidency has said President Bola Tinubu remains fully engaged in Nigeria’s governance even though he is away in Europe.
This is according to a statement on Thursday, April 17, by one of the president’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, obtained by TimesNow.com.ng.
Onanuga said his principal’s absence “remains temporary and in line with the communicated timeframe of approximately two weeks”, adding that Tinubu will be back after the Easter 2025 holidays.
Onanuga said:
Furthermore, the presidential aide said Tinubu’s ‘commitment to his duties remains unwavering, and his administration continues to function effectively under his leadership’.
The presidency appreciated Nigerians’ concerns and assured all citizens that governance proceeds without interruption.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, asserted that “Nigeria is in a full-blown state of emergency”.
Atiku spoke through a statement signed by Paul Ibe, a key member of his media office.
The presidential hopeful criticised President Tinubu on his stay abroad, stating that mindless killings are ongoing in Nigeria — especially in the northcentral geopolitical zone.
