You're Raising Embarrassing Questions, Tinubu Can Travel Anywhere - Abati Tells Atiku
Atiku said the president’s absence deepens a leadership vacuum as Nigerians face hardship and insecurity, while allies say the leave is deserved.
- On Sunday, Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress Atiku Abubakar criticized President Bola Tinubu's three-week working vacation in Europe, calling the timing insensitive amid widespread economic hardship facing Nigerians.
- Former lawmaker Dino Melaye claimed the vacation serves as a "reset" for Tinubu, alleging that recent attacks from Atiku and pressure from American security agencies regarding past records forced the President to leave.
- Defending the trip, former presidential aide Reuben Abati noted the Presidency remains within the 21-day threshold under Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution, meaning no formal power transfer is required.
- With Vice-President Kashim Shettima currently in Angola for an African Union session, Atiku argued the President's absence creates a "disturbing vacuum of political leadership" amid Nigeria's ongoing crises.
- Scheduled for September 8, 2026, the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly will include participation from Tinubu, according to previous Presidency announcements regarding his international itinerary.
